Description

This was distilled on the 28th March 1975 and bottled on the 8th November 2006 from a single sherry butt #1378. A distillery located on the south coast of the Isle of Islay. It is currently part of the Scotch whisky holdings of LVMH. Despite being closed twice in the latter 20th century, the distillery's heavily-peated single malt has always been highly-regarded.

Nose
great 'old style' Ardbeg with much less peat than we're used to today. Big notes of camphor. A certain mellow sweetness from the sherry butt, with hints of cocoa and wonderful fruits (mainly berries and papaya). Some cinnamon and ashes. Slightly coastal as well, with hints of boat rope and wet sand. Great integration overall and very complex.
Palate
sweet start, perfect strength. Very chocolaty. More peat now than on the nose. Quite some oak too. Hints of salted nuts and raisins. Elegant and balanced.
Finish
dry and very long, smokey, nutty and oaky. Waves of sherry and cocoa in the background.
