Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
very grassy and malty attack, growing more and more herbal. Extremely strong, hard to enjoy neat. It gets a tad smoky with a few drops of water, with also quite some honey
restaurant Palate
very powerful attack, with some nice notes of spices and herbs beyond the sweetness that make me think of Oban. Some notes of fresh apricot. A good, kind of 'natural' one, too bad the finish gets just a little bitter. 82 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening: better than both Keith Moon and Carmine Appice? If you like heavy percussions, perhaps you should have a go at the late Nigerian drummer Babatunde Olatunji doing Flirtation.mp3 (no mourvèdre in there ;-)) Please buy Babatunde's music - and support African music! (and Africa as a whole, while you're at it). September 3, 2005 TASTING – TWO GIANT ARDBEGS HEAD TO HEAD Ardbeg 1974/1997 ‘Provenance’ (55.6%, OB) A well known Ardbeg, always a huge pleasure to have another go at it
