Created for the 2020 Feis Ile that never was, this is currently Rob’s favourite Ardbeg and what’s not to like, look at these tasting notes!
Official Tasting Notes
Nose – Baked summer fruit pudding, Cedar wood/cigar box, smoky jam tarts, oak tannins, truffles. With water an intense ‘bitter cherry’ scent, a curious salty/savoury note, and then some lovely, perfumed violet notes.
Palate – A velvety/mouth furring texture leads into delicious symphony of contrasting flavours — savory & sweet and the same time. Aniseed & soot, summer fruits (cherries, strawberry’s, apricots and pears), pastry/cake mix, dark chocolate, coffee and more bitter cherries and almond.
Finish – A long lingering sooty finish.
Released to mark twenty years of the Ardbeg Committee, this expression has been matured in Pinot Noir wine casks from New Zealand.
