“I discovered this beauty at a whisky festival last year, and it was love at first taste. Hard to find in Canada, but worth it when it pops up unexpectedly... buy 2 bottles, pay electric bill later. I have loved a lot of Islay concoctions over the years, but this one tops them all...like a warm campfire at sunset on the beach, but in a glass. Top shelf stuff!”

Description

Ardbeg Grooves was released in celebration of Ardbeg Day 2018, and as ever, the Islay-based distillers have created a most intriguing expression. Part of the whisky that makes up Grooves was matured in red wine casks that were very well-charred, resulting in heavy grooves in the surface of the wood. A mellow though flavoursome dram.

To quote Ash Williams; "Groovy".

This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Nose

A thick, spiced aroma of iodine, seaweed and golden syrup leads among a herbal note of lavender. An earthy funk from damp bonfire wood, old oak and dried grass is complemented by lighter touches of butterscotch, stone fruits and a little marzipan icing.

Palate

Vanilla fudge, toffee popcorn and tarred orchard fruits rise through a big, salty opening. Savoury BBQ notes of cured Italian meats are percolated by paprika, green chilli and scorched herbs. Antique leather and damp oak form an interesting backdrop.

Finish

Seaside bonfire and smoked salts percolate through a mellow sweetness.

Overall

Ardbeg has certainly found its groove with this beauty...

Had a wee dram tonight. Must say I was surprised to find this in NC USA (I’m an Aussie travelling on business). I have visited and tried many Ardbegs and it has the usual peaty characters but does not pack a punch like others from Ardbeg and Islay so slightly smoother on the palate. Happy daze (In keeping with the label etc :)).
