Ardbeg Dark Cove - Ardbeg Day 2016 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
The 2016 Ardbeg Day release. Dark Cove was heralded as the darkest ever Ardbeg expression ever, that may be a stretch but it's certainly a darn good whisky. Chocolate orange, toffee, oaky spice and classic Ardbeg smoke and soot on the nose. The palate is dry and full with peppery spice, raisin and milk chocoalte. Lote of meaty savoury elements along with bees wax and bonfire flavours. Rich and spicy on the palate. Sherry cask (partly) and Ardbeg, mmm.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, glossy mahogany with coppery amber highlights.
Nose
A dark, indulgent nose of chocolate orange and toffee, braided with oaky spice and Ardbeg’s signature peat smoke and soot.
Palate
Dry and full on the palate, it releases peppery spice with raisin and milk chocolate. Savory, meaty notes mingle with beeswax and bonfire smoke, delivering a rich, spicy finish with a touch of sherry-cask influence.
Finish
Long, smoky finish with a savoury, meaty edge, deepened by beeswax and bonfire embers. Peppery spice lingers, entwined with raisin and milk chocolate, while a gentle sherry warmth threads through the tail, leaving a dry, oaky spice that slowly fades into peat and smoke.
