This is the third bottling in the Cask Editions series from the island distillery and has seen the whisky matured in ex-rum casks sourced from the Caribbean. Watch to find out more about the release and then discover Matt's thoughts and tasting notes.

Then on his next visit to the plot Matt talks about the Ardbeg Scorch. This is the Committee Edition that is released at the natural cask strength.

Watch to find out about the special blend and Matt's thoughts and tasting notes.
 
Then on his next visit, Matt showcases the latest bottling in the legendary Midleton Very Rare series.
