Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber with copper-gold glow and a subtle ruby tint, a burnished, wine-kissed hue.
Nose
Fiery peat smoke frames forest fruits and dark berries, while savory rye bread and black olive brine add depth. Cabernet Sauvignon cask influence threads through the aroma, lending wine-kissed fruit and a subtle resinous edge to Ardbeg’s signature smoky core.
Palate
Silky, full-bodied palate anchored by Ardbeg’s signature smoke. Cabernet cask influence brings forest fruits with a savory, olive-brined edge and hints of rye bread, weaving through the peat. Rich yet balanced, it finishes long, dry, and lightly tannic, leaving dark fruit and smoked notes etched on the palate.
Finish
Smoke lingers long in a cabernet-touched finish, where forest-fruit sweetness mingles with savory wine notes. Rye bread and black olives thread through the smoke, delivering a peppery, briny warmth that gradually fades to a velvety, tannic caress.
