The Scottish distillery Ardbeg, located in the Isaly region, loves their peaty whiskies. Unlike the anCnoc brand, which just recently returned to peat in some of its offerings, Ardbeg is about as heavy into this moss as it gets. Its latest release, Auriverdes, is certainly set to continue that trend.

READ THE STORYArdbeg Auriverdes, according to the distillery, will launch globally at the end of May.

It is also the nickname of the national football team of Brazil, hosts of this summer’s World Cup, and acts as a salute to the upcoming world soccer tournament.
