    Ardbeg Alligator

    Aged in a similar style to the standard 10 year old, except for the fact that a portion of the whisky was aged in heavily charred barrels. The barrels are charred to such an extent that they start to crack a little on the inside, and this resembles alligator skin, thus the name. The committee release of Ardbeg Alligator was exceptional and incredibly popular. This will follow suit...

    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

    Stunning aromas of charcoal, mulled wine and lemon icing sugar. Very creamy, with notes of vanilla and yoghurt, with a huge BBQ note. Some gingerbread and tangy apricots, and burning brown sugar.

    Palate

    Creamy and zesty, with a huge whack of grapefruit and lemon, as well as BBQ sauce, ginger and orange zest. Like a really toasty rye whiskey in parts, with hints of icing sugar, cocoa, gingernut biscuits and intense smoke.

    Finish

    Sweet and creamy with peppery, crackling peat smouldering away for hours.

    Overall

    One of the best Ardbegs we've ever tasted. A mind-blowing malt!

    The best Ardbeg

    And best whisky I have ever tasted

    Master of Malt Customer Dec 25, 2014

    Tuote josta kaikki maistaneet tyksyivät

    Hyvällä maulla tehty whisky ,sopii suuhun ei liian savuinnen koko arvosanan arvoinen

    Toffee Orange and Leather

    Briny leather nose with lemon cream and a multitude of other complexities. Peppery palate with leather and vanilla. Bitter nut and tobacco finish. If you thought the Uigeadail was not salty/tangy/bitter enough, try this. Bottle aging enriches with more toffee and orange, plus more char on the palate.
