Ardbeg Feis Ile 2010 Single Bourbon Cask #2761 Whisky 15 Year Old · 1995 Vintage

Colour

Deep golden amber with coppery highlights and a honeyed glow.

Nose

Intense peat smoke mingles with medicinal iodine and sea-salt, like a bonfire on a windswept Islay shore. From the bourbon cask, vanilla and toasted oak emerge, with wisps of toffee, coconut, and citrus zest, adding a bright lift to a bold, maritime core.

Palate

Explosive peat and medicinal iodine flood the palate, bright citrus and vanilla sweetness from the bourbon cask around it. Layered notes of toffee, grilled oak, and a waxy creaminess spread across the tongue, while sea-salt and peppery spice sharpen the finish. A long, warming aftertaste of coastal ash and maritime smoke lingers.

Finish

Long, warming finish that cloaks the palate in peat smoke and sea salt, slowly yielding to vanilla and coconut sweetness from the bourbon cask. A bright citrus lift and oak spice emerge, while the smoke lingers as a silky, resinous thread, leaving a subtly medicinal, Islay-tinged echo that invites another sip.
