Ardbeg has been in the business of distilling whisky for over 200 years now, so when the prestigious whisky maker revealed that it was to release its own beer for the first time - one that would have smoky notes that match its Islay roots - there was a lot of excitement. The result is The Shortie Smoky Porter, named after the Ardbeggian mascot Shortie the Jack Russell. It’s a limited edition beer from Ardbeg, produced in aid of World Water Day, which took place in March this year, and brewed in partnership with their friends at Williams Bros.. The distillery joined 250 other craft breweries to produce a beer for Brewgooder's Global Gathering initiative, where all profits would go to helping clean water projects in Malawi. A noble cause, then, and Ardbeg had the accolade of being the only whisky distiller to produce its own beer for the project. What does it taste like, we hear you cry? Well, it has notes of bitter dark chocolate, malty biscuit, espresso and a touch of liquorice, plus delicious smoky notes that guide the palate towards the bitter end. Now you can be in with the chance of tasting this rather special, limited edition, drink. Ardbeg has teamed up with ShortList to offer one lucky reader a chance to win the ultimate whisky and beer bundle from Ardbeg - worth a whopping £300. As well as 2 cases of The Shortie Smoky Porter, you’ll also get your hands on an incredible whisky bundle that includes full size bottles of Ardbeg Ten Years Old, Ardbeg An Oa, Ardbeg Wee Beastie, Ardbeg Corryvreckan and Ardbeg Uigeadail, plus an Ardbeg T-Shirt and a set of Ardbeg Tumblers!
