Instead of throwing out the mash until those were fixed, Dr. Bill Lumsden (the mad-scientist distiller behind Ardbeg) decided to see what would happen if they let it be. The washback lids were opened and the mash was allowed to ferment with the sea-kissed Islay air for three more weeks. To put that in perspective, Ardbeg (and most whiskies) usually ferment for 72 hours before distillation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnce the boilers were back up and running, the whisky was distilled and then barreled in first-fill and re-fill bourbon casks. 13 years later, Dr. Bill decided it was ready and here we are.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ardbeg Fermutation Single Malt Scotch Whisky is fresh, floral, herbal \u0026amp; tart.
