Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
more or less the same whisky as the OB. Same herbal notes at first nosing, same development, with maybe just a little more smoke, iodine and pine resin. Globally a little more complex so far. With water: same comments, except that this cask is clearly more coastal now. Tarry rope, seashells and then fresh almonds. Not a huge amount of peatiness, having said that
restaurant Palate
we’re even closer to the OB. Maybe a tad more mature, with more of this great resinous/smoky combination that age often brings to Ardbeg. Maybe a little more consistent. Huge liquorice. With water: same, with rather more lemon and medicinal notes as in the OB. Cough syrup. The rest is similar
timer Finish
very long, peaty, coastal, ashy, smoky…
