The boffins who measure and calculate everything, used something called HPLC (High Performance Drink Chromatology) to measure the peatiness of this very rare Ardbeg in infinitesimally precise amounts. After much test tube bubbling, they told us what our taste buds had already suspected, that this mighty Ardbeg has a staggering peatiness level well in excess of 100 parts per million – way beyond the customary heavy peat levels found in our famed Ardbeg 10 Years Old. SUPERNOVA thus perfectly describes this ‘stellar explosion’ of flavours
