1275
Bourbon
An astonishing 11 year old single cask from Ardbeg - stunning in flavour and very, very rare. This was distilled in 1998 and aged in cask 1275 (a first fill bourbon barrel) before bottling in 2009 - a release of just 252 bottles at natural cask strength.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Aromatic and heavenly with notes of vanilla cream, cocoa butter, coffee, cloves, cigar humidors, candy floss and buttery toffee. A development of rich wood smoke and iodine appears after time in the glass.
Intense and rich, notes of bonfire toffee, smoked kippers, rhubarb and custard sweets, pine oil, orange blossom and lime zest.
A long, thick finish with foam banana sweets, hickory smoke and malt.
