Ardbeg The Stories of Wind & Wave 18 Year Old, Bourbon Cask, Cask #257, 2001, The Character of Islay Whisky Company, 54.5%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

84 / 100

the herbal and medicinal notes, with a bit of lemon, give this more than just peat to talk about. still, the intense smoke and tar sound like they would take the lead, so it may be a lot if you want something gentler.
