Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

what can I say? It’s young unaltered Ardbeg from the early 1990s in all its pure, zesty, smoky glory, and the first thing I enjoy a lot here is the absence of any modern sweetish vanilla notes. Crystalline, very peaty, ashy, moderately briny and more medicinal than the average Laphroaig – but weren’t the good people from Laphroaig operating Ardbeg at the time? Oh, do I detect a little coconut now? I must be dreaming… With water: I was dreaming. Pure, clean, crystalline young Ardbeg. Lovable

restaurant Palate

absolutely perfect, ultra-zesty, oily, lemony, salty, very smoky, very ‘Ardbeg’. Pure unadulterated young peaty spirit, what’s not to love in this little monster? With water: simply perfect and perfectly simple. Ahem

timer Finish

long, ultra-clean
