Ardbeg Darkness - Pedro Ximenez Sherry Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old
In stock
Ardbeg Distillery, founded in 1815 on Islay’s south coast, is widely regarded for producing some of the island’s most intensely peated whiskies. Its spirit is known for bold smoke, maritime salinity and complex sweetness, a combination that pairs particularly well with the deep fruit and syrupy richness of PX sherry casks.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep, dark amber with coppery mahogany tones and a subtle ruby glow.
Nose
Velvety vanilla-latte sweetness rises with honeyed Gala apples, unfolding a rich, earthy depth that grounds the aroma in Islay’s coastal, peaty soul.
Palate
On the palate, honey-roasted nuts mingle with warm blackberry marmalade, edged by wisps of bonfire smoke, a lush, sherried sweetness lingering with fruity warmth.
Finish
Long, warming finish of honeyed apples and blackberry marmalade, with vanilla shimmer and a discreet bonfire smoke. Pedro Ximénez sweetness lingers, weaving through the peat and leaving a soft, persistent fruit essence as the fire fades.
