Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very honeyed and quite caramelly, with quite some pollen, then wood smoke and toasted brioche, garden bonfire… No maritime notes this time. Light but not weak
restaurant Palate
nicely citrusy (kumquats) and a little peppery, with hints of violet sweets. Now, the middle is a little weak and the finish is quite short I’m afraid. Earl grey tea. Well, this is a good Ardbeg but let's say it's more for (big) babies. The phenols are sometimes fragile when the malt has been bottled at 40%... 84 points. Ardbeg 22 yo 1974/1996 (40%, Sestante, ‘Mellow Matured’, 70cl)
