Master of Malt has a few words to say about it (as you would expect):. Auri(Gold)verdes(Green) is a name used to refer to Brazil's sports teams (including the football team, of course), but in this case it refers to the golden whisky and the iconic Ardbeg green bottle it dwells within.

49.9% ABV / 70cl
