Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
I’d swear they pushed the US oak. This reeks of plankish vanilla and sawdust at first nosing, and you have to wait for a few seconds before you may experience more Ardbegness. Tarry ropes, smoked almonds, old hessian, sea air, cider apples… Everything is slowly falling into place, but that wasn’t obvious. Mixed feelings… so far… With water: simple. Water doesn’t add much. A little varnish, perhaps
restaurant Palate
of course it’s quite good. Smoky lemons, marzipan, and kippery ashes. Right, ashy kippers. It’s just that it’s very simple and at this point, you would think it’s barely five years old. With water: hello? Planet Earth? What happened? Sawdust, ashes, and a little salt. That’s not quite enough
timer Finish
medium, ashy, and sawdusty. Rather unpleasant
