Producer: Ardbeg Distillery

Commercial Description:

COLOUR

Pale Straw

NOSE

Fresh, floral, herbal & tart. Hints of mixed herbs and cedar wood. Very zesty, vibrant, hints of smoked orange & grapefruit, lots of menthol & peppermint. With water, powerful bursts of diesel oil, tar, fresh paint and aniseed. As this dies down, a memory of freshly cut hay, a touch of silage and the tiniest hint of something savoury, like yeast extract or bread dough.

TASTE

A lively, vibrant, sharp, zingy texture, leading into very firm, distinctive flavours malty/biscuit tones, powerful aniseed, cardamon, antiseptic lozenge, sweet mint toffee and cigar ash.

FINISH

Finally, a lingering, salty, firm aftertaste of mint, tar, oak tannin & leather.
