Tasting Notes

Colour

light gold

air Nose

this one is more on oily and mineral notes, limestone, pebbles on the beach, also indeed raw wool, engine oil, I even detect a bit of shea butter and fresh almonds, as well as macadamia nuts (ever tried opening those?). With water: fruit and vegetable peelings and a lot of smoke. The wool and engine oil remain very present

restaurant Palate

powerful, with notes of camphor but also more mature apple, apple sauce, custard, a bit of seawater, a bit of kirsch... It's less of a typical Ardbeg than the previous one, if you catch my drift, but it remains excellent. With water: lemon and granny smith apple come through, along with a slightly sweeter side, featuring coconut. Likely the bourbon cask

timer Finish

long, quite round and fatty
