Description
Limited to 216 Bottles
A sweet and smoky Islay whisky is produced at Ardbeg, on the island’s south coast.
Founded in 1815 by the McDougall family, the site had grown into a small community. An alleged reason for its success was tied to the growing popularity of blends and the need for most to have some smoke running through them.
Over time, the popularity of Arbeg has grown, alongside the distillery’s production capacity.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Very coastal, kippers, brine and seaweed.
Flavour: Brine follows through, rich smoked cheese, stewed fruits and light iodine.
Finish: Burnt embers, faint smouldering smoke and a little creamy.
“There are echoes of Talisker in this one. Not your average Ardbeg, for sure, but I rather loved it. Vive la difference, my friend.” – Serge, Whisky Fun (89 Points)
