Description
Hot pepper. Lemon sherbet. Cream and fudge.
Bottled from incredibly rare casks filled during some of the Distillerys darkest days, this is the oldest whisky to join the Ardbegrange.This supreme expression proves unequivocally that age cannot tame Ardbegs smoky power. But it can yield some of the most complex and majestic flavours ever to burst forth from Ardbeg Distillery.
Nose:A pungent burst of smoked cream, peppermint and toffee, with Ardbegs classic fennel and pine resin. Distant earthy bonfires mix with herbal and fruity (banana and tropical) notes, along with fragrant candle wax.
Palate:An extremely vibrant, hot peppery mouthfeel leads into a burst of sherbet lemon sweetness (candied apples, pears and orange), hints of carbolic soap and tar, more creamy toffee, aniseed and chilli pepper.
Finish:A long, mellow, lingering aftertaste, with lots of cream, fudge and delicate antiseptic notes. An elegant, soothing style of Ardbeg.Non-chill filtered.
