ARDBEG |
| Fairly deep orange-tinged golden amber colour. Intense, complex, smoky, gently cedary, baked plum nose with some attractive iodine notes. Wonderful, expansive, fairly rich, medium to medium-full bodied, caramel-tinged, ripe plummy, smoke-tinged flavours that go on and on. |

| TASTING NOTE: The follow-up to last year's Ardbeg Day, here's the cult distillery in its funkiest guise with a nose that's reminiscent (I'd imagine) of a frontier trading post: all pitch, furs, and gun oil. Some mint hangs around in the background alongside eucalyptus. This is an earthy, in-your-face Ardbeg with a hint of box-fresh sneakers indicating some youthfulness. The mouth is thick and chewy: wild mint, oily depths, and the slightly manic energy typical of Ardbeg's young years. Editor's Choice. Score - 91 (Dave Broom, whiskyadvocate.com, Vol. 22, #3) |
