Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s definitely got something of the older 17 OB (fresh almonds) but otherwise it’s a rather meatier version, probably thanks to the sherry cask. Notes of old leather, whiffs of cow stable and farmyard, seawater again, iodine, seaweed… Then milk chocolate. All that isn’t too big, that is. Another strangely whispering Ardbeg? With water: an extreme farminess now, all on fermenting hay
restaurant Palate
it’s big and it’s ultra-lemony, to the point where the peat hasn’t even its say. Well, quite. Fructose, limejuice (litres!), cactus juice, lemon drops, grass… Very ‘green’, very unusual! Let’s see what happens with water: ah, that worked, it’s classic Ardbeg now. Big peat, big lemon, big saltiness, big notes of green apples
timer Finish
long, clean, zesty and lemony
