Tasting Notes

Colour

Gold

air Nose

hot peat ash, tar, seawater and rope. Pure 1970s Ardbeg. A little wet seaweed, lime oil, salted fish and smoked grist. Wonderful stuff - extremely pure and powerful. With water: plasticine, sea salt, kippers and pure brine. Some burning sandalwood and pine cones in the background

restaurant Palate

wonderfully dense in texture, peated silk if there is such a thing. The peat takes on a kind of meaty quality with some very dense, creosote and earthy notes. Plenty black pepper and green olives in brine. Some dried mixed herbs and anchovy paste. Majestic old Ardbeg. With water: stunning! Pure, old school, Ardbeggy perfection. Leaps about like a slippery Dolphin

timer Finish

Thrillingly long, ashy, earthy, tarry and medicinal
