Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
much more fatness, despite the fact that it was refill, walnut oil, matured olive oil (I mean the olives are matured before being pressed), whiffs of metal polish, copper, brake fluid, new linoleum, oilcloth, artichoke, Barbour grease, tar… You see. Less straight coastal influences this time. With water: more olive oil yet
restaurant Palate
hot, very punchy, peppery, full of tar and ashes, chilli, glue, citrus skin (including the bitterer white stuff), peppery olive oil… This truly is a very robust Ardbeg. With water: there, citrus, apples, walnuts, grapefruit, seawater, seashells, fats…
timer Finish
long, fat, back on peppery olive oil, with the same kind of afterburn. Some shoe polish in the aftertaste (reminds me of some silly jokes in the army) and a few fruits
