Tasting Notes

Colour

pale straw

air Nose

pure crystal clean peat and sea water, slightly toasted in the background. Not a big Ardbeg but the freshness is most enjoyable. Gets grainier with time, maybe even a tad porridgy

restaurant Palate

very nice attack, peaty and lemony with also quite some pepper but there’s a sudden drop. We have a weakish middle and a very short finish, which is quite strange. Just a little lemon and a little pepper… Slightly under par I’d say (and God knows DL had some brilliant 1975’s). 85 points . Ardbeg 1978/2000 (56.9%, Spirit of Scotland, casks #1999 & 2000)
