Tasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
it’s a rather simple and lightish Ardbeg at first nosing, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Bitter almonds, hessian, sea air, clams, tarry ropes, and plenty of kelp. Really, it’s rather simple, but it does the job
restaurant Palate
very good, with some tarry lemons and always this feeling of smoked marzipan, but it tends to become sharper and brinier, it’s becoming almost a cocktail with lemon juice, gherkin juice, and smoked water. Again, it’s rather simple, but it’s got this dry and ashy backbone that’s nowhere else to be experienced on Islay. Right, perhaps at the Indian restaurant in Port Ellen, what’s the name again? Right, Maharani, are they still active? Certainly hope so…
timer Finish
medium, salty, olive-y, and almost mezcaly. Did you ever spot agaves on Islay?
