Ardbeg Cadenhead's Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 14 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with burnished copper tones and ruby-tinged edges, a rich sherry-tinged mahogany glow.

Nose

Bold peat smoke mingles with sea-salt and iodine, a briny breeze at the core. Zesty lemon and honeyed vanilla lift the aroma, while a whisper of ash and subtle dried fruit hints at maturity. Maritime, medicinal, and unmistakably Islay, with the peat staying bright and clean.

Palate

Peat smoke and iodine carve a briny backbone, while citrus zest brightens the mid-palate. Rich vanilla caramel and toasted oak weave with black pepper, delivering a velvety texture that grows in intensity. A long, smoky finish lingers with sea-salt and medicinal notes.

Finish

Long and maritime, the finish carries a gentle peat-fire smoke that lingers beside saline iodine and ash. Sherry sweetness returns with dried fig and dark chocolate, while a subtle spice threads through, fading to a crisp oak warmth that leaves a polished, coastal imprint on the palate.
