Smoky
Complex and warm, this flavour profile brings notes of burnt wood and ash with elements of toasted spice, leather and a subtle earthiness.
Nutty
Reminiscent of roasted nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts, this flavour profile is slightly sweet with a buttery undertone.
Peaty
Robust and earthy, this flavour profile is defined by smoky, medicinal notes with hints of campfire, seaweed and iodine.
Peppercorn
Warm and earthy, this flavour profile brims with a spicy heat balanced by a slight sweetness and warm wood.
Woody
Deep and earthy, this flavour profile provides prominent notes of oak and cedar with a hint of smoke and vanilla spice.
Salt
Characterised by its sharp, mineral-driven taste, this flavour profile provides a clean, intense note with a briny quality.

    Ardbeg - greatest whiskies in the world

    Appearance - tawny

    Coatline - very thin, almost not there.

    Legs - take a long time to run, when they do very slow and very thin. Indicates presence of oils and a heavy whisky because the legs take so long to run and run slowly - high ABV.

    Nose - oily, chocolate, buttery, peat, infusion of pine, aromas seem to alter at each visit.

    Palate - salty, oily, winey, cream, butter, chocolate, reflecting finish in a wine cask, Tarmac right at the end.

    Finish - medium length, oily, chilli, some Peating, orange peel after a while.

    Conclusion - multilayered infusion of different aromas and flavours reflecting the balance between the kiln Peating, fermentation, distillation which produces peaty yet balanced spirit and the casking from ex bourbon Jack Daniels and finished in French wine casks. Not as peaty as the 10 year old, but a nice variation thereon
