Color

Yellow gold

Nose

Warming, fresh and fruity (oranges). Sea spray, orange zest and smoked fish.

Taste

Powerful and peaty. Austere, clean and rather dry. There are notes of smoked tea, wood and hints of sherry, but the sherry is not obvious - still a typical old Ardbeg. Very tasty.

Finish

Very long, peaty and pleasant.

Comments

Excellent Ardbeg with lots of distillery character despite of the sherry hogshead.
