Remarks:
very tasty ardbeg. I have nothing of the sherry barrel on the nose. Reminds me more of a bourbon aging. But in the taste and in the finish, the sherry maturation comes into its own. Delicious. The alcohol is perfectly integrated.
Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points
- Nose: 88/100 points
nice smoky note, fruity fresh, a little sweetness comes, light vanilla in the background, herbs and spicy, later some ash, with warmth there is also some malt and light nuts - Taste: 89/100 points
shy smoky at first, then dried fruits and it becomes spicy. Slightly pepper, plums, very slightly sweet and a little vanilla and nuts and herbs - Finish: 89/100 points
smoky, fruity sweetish, dried fruits, a bit spicy, becoming dry towards the end. Quite long and warm
