Ardbeg Kildalton 2nd Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
A limited edition Ardbeg release that was only available from the Distillery in person. Excellent packaging and sure to be a good future investment bottle.
The original Kildalton was a lighter peated style and this is Ardbeg as a talented teenager!
94 points Jim Murray's Whisky Bible.
"Youthful and lightly smoked, unlike the days when i blended the first ever Kildalton which was middle aged and for all intents and purposes, peat free. The most subtle of Ardbeg's which whispers its beauty, though quite audibly."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright amber-gold with coppery highlights and a warm honey glow, rich like sunlit bronze.
Nose
Fresh sooty citrus, white pepper, oily elderflower cordial, and fresh green herbs meet a charred pineapple dusted with peaty vanilla.
Palate
Fresh, spicy peat dominates the palate, interwoven with vegetal and seaweed notes, green herbs, and an oily citrus backbone. Lime and elderflower cordial brighten the mid-palate, finishing with a lively maritime lift and the unmistakable, youthful Ardbeg peat.
Finish
A lighter, cleaner finish, a fresh procession of Ardbeg’s flavours, herbal brightness interlaced with aromatic peat that lingers softly.
