Ardbeg 10yo Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

$113.00 each

Description

In 2013 Ardbeg are celebrating the unique archaeological character of the famous whisky island of Islay with the release of the Ardbog. Inspired by the peat and the deep, marshy bogs that have made the island synonymous with powerhouse whiskies, Ardbog is a limited edition rare vatting that displays the full complexity of Islay. Different styles of rich and salty Ardbeg whiskies (aged for at least 10 years) have been married with soft, sweet ex-Manzanilla casks to create a dram of great depth and peaty complexity.

Tasting Notes

An explosion of crackling peat sets off millions of flavour explosions: peat effervesces with tangy lemon and lime juice, black pepper pops with sizzling cinnamon-spiced toffee. Then comes a wave of brine infused with smooth buttermilk, ripe bananas and currants. Smoke gradually wells up on the palate bringing a mouthful of warm creamy cappuccino and toasted marshmallows. As the taste lengthens and deepens, dry espresso, liquorice root and tarry smoke develop coating the palate with chewy peat oils. The mouthfeel is firstly lightly spiced, then chewing, mouthwatering and full, finally drying.
