Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

beautifully sooty and smoky. A dank chimney with tarry embers, coal scuttles and old rope. Lots of hessian, paraffin, tar, iodine drops, dried kelp, seaweed crackers and anchovy paste. Despite the power you sense underneath everything unfolds with deft precision and control. Some beautifully elegant salinity keeps everything hyper fresh. With water: extremely pure and coastal now. Seawater, salt, brine, lemon juice, boiler smoke and kippers. Still all the while displaying this typical Ardbeg density of peat

restaurant Palate

Waaaoooow! Pin-sharp peat, pink sea salt, black olives in brine, pure iodine, natural tar extracts, black pepper, smoked mackerel, salted liquorice and yet more tar. Totally thrilling whisky! Poise, power, balance and beautiful structure. With water: bandages, medical embrocations, antiseptic, herbal mouthwash, peat ashes, malt vinegar and camphor. Totally stunning! Herbal, smouldering, medical sooty and hugely salty

timer Finish

endlessly smoky, resinous, fatty, glycerol, herbal and umami. All manner of earthy, sooty, smoky and peaty complexities fizzing and popping
