Ardbeg 1975 (bottled 1997) - Connoisseurs Choice (Gordon & MacPhail)
A very rare Ardbeg bottled by Gordon and MacPhail in 2003. This was distilled in 1975 - a legendary vintage for Ardbeg.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Espresso coffee, pine resin and beeswax. Notes of dried herbs, and a touch of tarmac on a hot day. Almond oil and a hint of peat smoke.
Palate
Quite rich with notes of camphor, lapsang souchong, salty butter and marmalade. Hints of creosote.
Finish
Oaky with notes of herbs and toffee.
