Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
pale amber
air Nose
starts peatier, closer to the distillery, even if it’s not as expressive. Whiffs of peonies, blackcurrant buds and beer (a strange mixture indeed), then fir honeydew, mint sauce, dill… A little camphor… It gets more and more on ‘Ardbeg’… A very long development, very complex. More and more on cough syrup and old nuts, then cinchona (Campari)
restaurant Palate
one that slowly takes you by the sides, soothingly (is that maltoporn or what?) Notes of wormwood, earl grey tea, kumquats, mint liqueur, verbena… Then small bitter oranges. Superb smokiness, bitter chocolate from the best makers, curcuma… Excellent old Ardbeg
timer Finish
not immensely long but balanced, subtly resinous and herbal. Just a tad drying but that’s normal. 93 points. Ardbeg 32 yo 1967/1999 (47.5%, Douglas Laing OMC, 185 bottles) ‘A green Ardbeg’
