Remarks:
beautiful balanced Ardbeg. Wonderful combination of smoke and sherry, the smoke is perfectly integrated.
Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points
- Nose: 89/100 points
subtle smoke, ashy, sherry aromas rather in the background, dark fruits, toffee, slightly spicy - Taste: 89/100 points
Ash, subtle smoke, dried fruits, plums, spicy, slightly sweet, pleasant mouthfeel. Salivary - Finish: 89/100 points
Again, nice subtle smoke combined with the sherry aromas, becoming spicy and slightly bitter
