Comments:
The newest addition to the Ardbeg range of age statement expressions, this whisky is wild and unbalanced, lots of sweet, sour and bitter going on. But somehow, it works - the bitter smoke goes well with the citrus and vanilla. There’s not a lot of chocolate in this Ardbeg, but there’s a herbal note that I sometimes find in other, older bottlings.
Verdict:
I like this.
