Ardbeg Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Old Bottling) 17 Year Old
Out of stock
This 17 year old example is now a rare and much sought after Ardbeg bottling.
Very different to most of the recent Ardbegs you may have sampled as it has a much lighter influence of peat smoke, in fact probably all too easy to finish a bottle without even realising!
Sadly this exact less-peated style may never be repeatable as some of the stock in this bottling is much older than 17 years old (or so the legend has it)
A more Kildalton style release that is so delicate yet still very complex but with the usual Ardbeg peat taking just a cameo role here.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Soft and elegant with the traditional Ardbeg explosion of peat smoke just a cloak around the big tropical fruit, nettles, fresh herbs and oily-tarry ropes. Some peppermint and creamy sea salted gooseberry.
Palate
More fresh and spicy tropical fruit, waxy citrus, salted seaside rock, angelica, fresh garden herbs and celery. A very delicate body for an Ardbeg but a lightness of touch here is still a class act.
Finish
Candied peel, green/mint tea, salted lime curd, herb garden by the sea, lilt pop on a fishing trip, ripe green fruit and a dusting of white pepper and very subtle and elegant peat smoke.
