Description
For over 200 years, Ardbeg has been made on the small, remote Scottish Isle of Islay. Some people travel to Ardbeg along the winding road from Port Ellen. Others follow their nose, their destiny or the advice of a good friend. Ardbeg has been called “as close to perfection as makes no difference,” by whisky connoisseurs. Proof then, that Ardbeg truly deserves its incredible reputation. It’s a whisky that’s worshipped around the world. In the past ten years, six different Ardbeg expressions have won prestigious titles including World Whisky of the Year, Scotch Whisky of the Year and World’s Best Single Malt.
Ardbeg, Single Malt 2nd fill Bourbon Single Cask 3308 18YO Bottled 2021, Islay is a creamy, zesty whisky with a savoury twist. The aroma is a singular bouquet, both creamy and unexpectedly savoury, with gentle musky hints. It is powerfully peppery on the palate, with waves of tar, soot, aniseed and a suggestion of old-fashioned boiled sweets flavoured with cinnamon and peppermint.
