Cask Type "High Mocha" Charred & Toasted Casks

Colour Burnished Bronze

Aroma Earthy, duty and slightly biscuity on the nose, this is a most curious Ardbeg, almost from an alternative universe. The sooty/tarry notes are clear but restrained, and are balanced out by some silky vanilla. Water opens up a myriad of herbal and floral notes - smoked vetiver root, aniseed, fennel, chrysanthemum and jasmine, to name but a few.

Taste The mouthfeel is peppery and warming, and precedes an explosion of fiery, spicy flavours - chilli flavoured chocolate, bittersweet mocha, briar wood, birch tar, ground black pepper and smoked artichokes.

Finish The sooty/tarry notes build up to a crescendo of rich, smoky, flavours with an incredible, lingering aftertaste of charcoal, bitter almonds and molasses.
