A PERFUMED FORAY INTO ARDBEG’S FLORAL SIDE

This soft and floral single cask is the fragrant result of Ardbeg’s first experiment with port casks. The whisky's story began on Monday 13th July 2009, when its smoky, balanced spirit flowed from Ardbeg’s still. Then with a complex, velvety whisky in their minds, the Whisky Creation Team laid a parcel of spirit down in second-fill port casks, never before used to age Ardbeg. But after 14 years of ageing, one cask’s sweet, floral layers set it apart from the rest.

Combining notes of sugared plums, spearmint and roses with restrained hints of smoke, Cask No. 3918 showcases Ardbeg as never before.

Non-chill filtered at 57.9% ABV.

Ardbeg’s floral side…

Fragrant, perfumed and sweet. Milk chocolate, honeycomb and sugared plums are contrasted by notes of incense and spearmint. A few drops of water release aromas of rose and honeysuckle, with echoes of Ardbeg’s signature smoke.
A soft, velvety and slightly drying texture is followed by a complexity of flavours. Notes of butter candy give way to smoked plums and chocolate truffles. Then aniseed, menthol and woodsmoke emerge, alongside subtle hints of burnt toast, black peppercorns and cumin.
Finally, softer tones of lightly smoked pears and walnut oil come to the fore.
