Ardcore is an experimental release that has been produced using heavily roasted barley. This resulted in a taste-profile of heavy peat and dark chocolate. The bottle design displays a Punk Rock style livery and was released in April 2022. 
Officially launched in January 2000, the Ardbeg Committee is a fan club that loosely tasked with safe guarding the distillery from a return to its darker days of the previous century. Open to anyone to register, the club has access to exclusive releases like this one, which are never available to the general public. Membership also have access to a private room at the distillery and are asked to adhere to semi-tongue in cheek set of Committee rules, one of which warns of grave consequences for those who mix their Ardbeg with anything other than water.
