Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
home! I mean, the home of older tasters such as yours truly, with this unstoppable sootiness floating over the sea at first sniffs, and then a very complex yet perfectly chiselled combination of gentian roots, verbena, lemongrass and pitch. You may add a little grapefruit, dill, kelp and hessian. In truth, it’s no big Ardbeg and the peat remains delicate and even sometimes ‘suggested’, but it’s wonderfully crystalline
restaurant Palate
it’s even sootier and it’s very ashy, while some pretty unusual notes of dried coconut are flying around. A little butter and vanilla too. It’s only after a few seconds that some pure Ardbegness starts to strike, with some brine, kippers, grapefruits and just anything smoked. Eucalyptus lozenges, then also coffee beans, probably from the wood
timer Finish
medium long, with gentian and lemon plus quite some ashes and tar (lapsang souchong tea). Cough syrup
