The team at Ardbeg have triumphed again. Technical skill, balance and perfectly timed maturation make this a WINNING DRAM.
A unique toasting process has created casks that have imparted a formation of flavours to the spirit over many seasons. Tarry and herbal notes open up with the addition of mocha. Now coffee grounds. Here come smoked root vegetables. Light touches of maple-cured bacon. Hot-smoked salmon passes to a smoky vanilla note that lingers before... driving the flavour home!
What a kick... that's no ordinary finish.
