Appearance |
Clear, golden amber. |
Aroma |
Tar, coal dust, sea spray and creamy custard with pine resin, honey and dark chocolate. More woody with water. |
Taste |
Sherry, pineapple and creamy vanilla with milk chocolate, peat smoke and assertive spice. Loses some of its honeyed sweetness and creaminess with water – better neat. |
Aftertaste |
Long lingering peat smoke creosote and tar. |
Overall |
A rumbustious malt with tar, coal dust, peat smoke and creosote – as you’d expect of Ardbeg, but tamed with honey, pineapple, chocolate and creamy custard. |
Closure: Natural cork stopper
