Ardbeg
Scotland
Single Malt
This stunning expression from Islay's Ardbeg distillery on the Kildalton Coast is named after a nearby loch (pronounced "Oog-a-dal"). It's the perfect example of how sweet and savoury notes can work together spectacularly - you'll find Ardbeg's maritime salinity intact here, combined with dried fruit notes imparted by time spent in sherry casks. Kind of like when you mix sweet popcorn and salty popcorn together, it results in something absolutely wonderful.
Multifaceted, notes of peat and little flourishes of dark sugar, freshly ground espresso beans, cereal notes and a most sophisticated tar.
Led by sweet, ripe fruit and black forest honey. A good helping of malt. The throne then usurped by a powerful peat and smoked barley.
Very long, caramel and malt weave their way through peat smoke and dark sugar and just a hint of fresh espresso coffee before it finally peters out.
Such deft balance! How wonderful to sample Ardbeg so beautifully complimented by sherry.
I first purchased a bottle for a good friend who loves his Peaty Whisky. I was then fortunate enough to share a dram with him, if simply blew my mind. So I purchased another for myself. The whole of that weekend I just couldn’t get it out of my mind. There’s no sin in Whisky promiscuity and if there was I’d happily pay penance to have a dalliance with this remarkable NAS gem.
This Ardbeg is a hard hitter, so full of punch and flavour! It's medicinal, caramel and smoke all wrapped up in an uppercut to the mouth! Awesome ????
Love ardbeg so much but this is overpriced. Loses to 10 and Laphroaig QC and Loch Lomond Inchmoan. Guess I'm one of those who don't get the greatness of this but I stand what I taste. Not bad, just ridiculous price. Still good stuff to drink . Not excellent, but ardbeg is still better than 90% other whiskys.
Love it. It’s smoky of course but not just for smokiness sake like some Islays—rather, it has an amazing blend of flavours. Really love the Sherry influence. After trying about 230-40 scotches, this is in my top 3
Have to say my first impression on opening was 'not a fan' but gave it another try a few weeks later with a drop of water and it seems to have changed totally. Its one that in my opinion needs time to open up with oxygen and needs to calm down a bit before I can fully appreciate. I have since changed my opinion and enjoyed many times and csn appreciate the quality
