You gotta love the marketing folks at Ardbeg. This was originally made to commemorate the World Cup last year ( Auri = gold and Verdes = green...the color of Brazil's national team). I'm still trying to link the Brazilian team to Islay whisky----but I'm sure it's beyond me. The lovely sport of futbol aside, this is actually a really good whisky. Peat and citrus on the nose, followed by a coffee and chocolate, and ending with a campfire note on the finish. Given the price tag, I'm sure you're paying more for the marketing machine than the whisky...but price aside, it's a pretty good dram. On a side note...if I were an Ardbeg marketer linking this to Brazil, I'd probably have it finished in caipirinha casks. Probably wouldn't make for a good whisky though.
