Ardbeg Duncan Taylor Single Cask #347602 Whisky 19 Year Old · 1994 Vintage

Colour

A rich, burnished amber with coppery highlights and a subtle mahogany edge, like sunset glass warmed by peat.

Nose

Intense peat smoke envelops a cool sea-brine core, with iodine and medicinal notes woven through the aroma. Beneath, vanilla and toasted oak lend warmth, while lemon zest and citrus peel lift the nose. A subtle thread of dark chocolate and espresso deepens the profile, finishing with coastal sweetness and a refined, lingering smoky elegance.

Palate

Powerful, refined; medicinal peat and ash form the backbone, softened by sherry sweetness. It coats the tongue with dark fig, raisin and cocoa, while sea-salt and coastal brine lift the freshness. Oak spice and gentle pepper linger into a long, smoky finish.

Finish

Long, peat-driven finish with iodine and sea-salt, a briny plume that slowly dissolves into oak spice and a whisper of dried fruit, leaving a warming echo of espresso and vanilla.
