Nose | A burst of smoked cream, peppermint and toffee. Distant earthy bonfires with fragrant candle wax. |
Palate | A vibrant, peppery mouthfeel is followed by candied apples, pears and orange. Hints of tar and carbolic soap. |
Finish | A long and mellow aftertaste with cream and fudge present in abundance. |
This special expression is bottled from incredibly rare casks filled during some of Ardbeg distillery’s darkest days. This intricate and balanced whisky presents majestic aromas of smoked cream and earthy bonfires. On the palate there is hot pepper that combines with lemon sherbert sweetness along with hints of carbolic soap and tar flow.
