Insider knowledge: Ardbeg 1977 whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Ardbeg 1977 whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
This was one of the best whisky's i bought. So balanced and complex in tast, that everyone likes it. Everybody now wants to be my friend ;-) !
Very subtle, briney and brings back memories of a quiet fishing pier with a slight sweetness in the back ground on the nose. Sweetness comes more to the front on the palte, but the saltyness balances it out followed by a wave of subtle peat and smoke, pepper comes in just as the finish starts. The finish is long and refined, carries on from palate it was difficult to now where the palte ended and finish started, the peat comes through in the end after a slight sherbert pepper sensation. Amazing dram
