gold
air Nose
b****y, f*****g yesssss! This, is Ardbeg. Hessian, oysters, old coal stove, almond oil, genuine old turpentine, carbon paper, old books, Bakelite, natural engine oil (castor oil), crème de menthe (old Ricqlès, do you know that brilliant stuff that makes your breath just perfect for dancing cheek-to-cheek?)… This is extraordinarily complex, this is what made Ardbeg Ardbeg in many a whisky lover’s book. No, not just that one
restaurant Palate
makes you dance and sing. More old books, carbon paper, seawater, tar, drops of cod oil (I know), whelks and other tasty sea animals, almonds again, creosote and bandages (the infernal combo), wet papers, kippers, smoked salmon, then rather spices, caraway and cloves, cardamom… Was 70° proof really only 40% vol.? Seriously, it’s no big whisky as far as power is concerned, and indeed we’re almost closer to wine, but depth and wideness of aromas are pretty amazing
timer Finish
sadly, it is a little short and almost too clean and tidy. On the other hand, this baby was bottled at 40% and spent more than thirty-five years in a closed bottle. Try to understand it!
