Description

A 23-year-old single malt from the Ardbeg distillery, part of the 'Twenty Something' series. This superb bottling was laid down during the precarious years when the distillery's future hung in the balance, and is a vatting of ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso Sherry casks. [5, 8, 14]

Nose
Initial bursts of vanilla cream, sweet wood smoke and antique furniture mingle with sweet bubble gum, roasted pinecones and chocolate. On the second nose, fresh tropical fruits are infused with deeper chocolate and sherry led notes. A splash of water releases robust flavours of smoke, creosote and coal tar, followed by medicinal notes and ripe mangos. [2, 4]
Palate
At first, rich chocolate flavours combine with a silky mouthfeel. The second sip begins with more chocolate, then something deeper – vanilla pods and intense dried fruits glide into pine needles and pine smoke. Then finally, more chocolate, this time rich chocolate covered raisins. [2, 4]
Finish
Herbal notes and incense create a long, lingering finish, rounded off with a hint of spice. [2, 4]
