Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Nose: Nutty, spicy, intense with hints of aniseed and patchouli. Smoky, herbal notes, and an impression of oily smoke. With a splash of water more of the classic Ardbeg ‘fennel/herbal/pine’ top notes.
Palate: Oily spicy mouthfeel with a burst of antiseptic lozenges, tar, liquorice, clovepepper. This is then followed by some sweet smoke like briar or sandalwood.
Finish: A long, but subtle, sooty, tarry aftertaste.
