Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
a rather beautiful start on lots of freshly brewed coffee and crisp, pure peat smoked grain. This one smells just like at the kiln! Quite some menthol after that, fresh dough, kelp, oysters, lemon, camphor… One of the ‘purest’ Ardbegs I ever nosed. Kind of superb peat flavoured vodka (by the way, did anybody try to do that? I guess one could smoke any kinds of grain…)
restaurant Palate
very strong and very lemony, just as pure in style as on the nose. Almost sharp like a blade, ‘nicely’ burning, with lots of peat of course, crystallized lemons, sweet pepper, getting quite leafy and rooty. I doesn’t develop too much in fact, and maybe it’s a little one-dimensional on the palate but what a beautiful dimension. Very long finish, compact, getting a little almondy with a great bitterness. Perfect style and balance – and a very pleasant aftertaste that leaves your mouth fresh as a baby’s. 89 points (it can’t go any higher on my scale because of its 'simplicity' but I put five stars). Ardbeg 11 yo 1991/2002 (60.6%, Premier Malts, cask #PM2001)
