Ardbeg Signatory Vintage Single Malt Scotch Whisky 8 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Golden amber with coppery highlights

Nose

Rising from the glass, a fierce coastal peat smoke with medicinal iodine and sea spray. Beneath, sherried warmth of dark fruit, fig and raisin, a touch of leather and cocoa, vanilla and toasted almond. The aroma is bold and maritime, a refined balance of smoke, sweetness and sea air.

Palate

Bold peat and medicinal smoke greet the palate, tempered by saline coastal notes. A whisper of sweetness from the cask reveals dried fruit and honeyed spice, with hints of vanilla and toasted oak. The finish is long, smoky and mineral, leaving a warm, maritime glow on the tongue.

Finish

Long, smoky finish with coastal peat and medicinal brightness, layered over sherry-dark sweetness. Dried fig and raisin mingle with cocoa nibs, while peppery spice and a hint of sea salt linger, sealing a warm, resinous oak echo.
