The first part in the Young series from Ardbeg, tracking the development of Ardbeg whisky, aged for just a few years, all the way up to the standard Ardbeg at 10 years old. Very interesting indeed, and now extremely rare.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Nose: Very peaty and spicy. Notes of cut hay, fresh herbs, smoke, kippers. Hints of the coast, lime juice, coal tar.
Palate: Rich and thick. Very malty, hints of salinity, very phenolic, black pepper, chilli, digestive biscuits. Huge and intense.
Finish: Smoky, spicy, peaty. Tarmac on a hot day. Some caramel sweetness and citrus.

Same as the reviewer below, except that I recently discovered (2019) an opened but 3/4 full bottle that I'd tucked away and forgotten (along with a similar bottle of 15YO Dalwhinnie). Neither have lost anything for being opened. They might not gain anything in the bottle, but they haven't lost anything in my opinion.

Bought a bottle in 2005 for £24. Had always been a huge fan of the Islay's but got absolutely floored by the outstanding flavour and phenomenal complexity of this young fellow. I developed a deep and profound love for it very quickly and managed to share some with my number one single malt whisky friend who not surprising felt exactly like I did about it. A truly phenomenal whisky.If only I knew then what I know now..I would have bought everything in sight. £24...Outstanding and likely never to be matched again, ever.
