Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine
air Nose
ultra-classical oily and almondy, lemony and peaty old style Ardbeg, displaying all of the trademark coastal and farmy notes. Diesel oil (that story about fishermen and their boats), wet wool (or rather sheep), wild herbs, camphor, oysters, ‘walks on the beach with Sonia and the cocker spaniel’… whatever… Again, a classic. Brilliant, of course, even if not really ‘big’
restaurant Palate
yes, yes and yes. What strikes me first is the balance between the phenolic notes and the fruity ones (mostly lemon and green apples). And then an avalanche of peat, spices, salt, clams, herbs. Gets then superbly mushroomy and minty at the same time, and finally even more lemony
timer Finish
maybe not the longest but totally delicious
