Tasting Notes
Colour
dark straw
air Nose
rather aromatic at first nosing, with some peat and notes of apple compote and peat. Granted, it lacks a little oomph but we’re in the same territories as most ‘Connoisseur’s Choices’. Notes of iodine, sea air, seaweed with a little lemon and orange juices and hints of camphor. An enjoyable, discreet Ardbeg
restaurant Palate
well, now it lacks a little body, I’m afraid. Not exactly watery but rather tea-ish, with quite some wax and paraffined cardboard, vanilla fudge, dried herbs. Interesting notes of smoked salmon as well but there’s too much caramelly notes in there, globally. We’d have liked a little more sharpness and vivacity, and especially the finish is quite weak and too tea-ish. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not unpleasant at all but I feel the association of a low A.B.V. with these caramelly tastes do not fit Ardbeg too well. 78 points .
