Ardbeg 22 Year Old - Twenty Something
This is a very exciting limited edition 22 year old single malt Scotch from Ardbeg. It’s a notable expression because it was distilled in 1996, when Ardbeg was under threat of demolition. It was one of the last spirits distilled using Ardbeg's old equipment, including the retired still that now stands in the distillery's courtyard. It was matured in ex-bourbon casks to capture the classic Ardbeggian profile (yes, that's a word... Probably...).
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Lime cordial, orange marmalade and buttery pastry, with some TCP elements and refined smoke. Hints of vanilla and clove develop.
Palate
There's plenty of dark and orchard fruits among golden syrup, dark chocolate and black peppercorn. Cured meat and a little salinity emerge.
Finish
Long and sweet, with a touch of bittersweet smoke.
