Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
boy this was 30 as it came out. Incredible tightness and I would believe it changed over the years in glass, becoming tighter, more 'one', and more herbal too. What's sure is that Ardbeg, back in those days, was a fatter spirit. Amazing pine-y aromas, tar liqueur, ashes, kelp, with rather less of that meatiness I had detected back in 2005. But did it vanish or have I changed?
restaurant Palate
I'll say it, I liked Signatory's latest even better. This is superb, naturally, with these grapefruits, this tar, and indeed this salty fino-y character, but I do not find it vastly complex. A bit of a death seat effect after Signatory's 40? Perhaps…
timer Finish
no, fantastic, grassy and a tad bitter, but with great tar and a spoonful of coffee dregs
