HOW TO ENJOY
HOW TO ENJOY
Appearance: A deep gold
Aroma: Initial aromas of Christmas cake and violets fuse with cedar and pine needles. Treacle toffee and chocolate raisin notes rise up through the smoke
Taste: A sense of sweetness gives way to a burst of winter spices countered by honey-glazed, smoked flavours and chewy treacle. Waves of smoky tones build up on the palate like a cigar.
Enjoy neat, with a little water or 2-3 large rocks of ice.
Islay, Scotland. Founded in 1815, the Ardbeg distillery is revered by connoisseurs around the world as the peatiest, smokiest and most complex of all the Islay malts, while being renowned for its delicious sweetness, a phenomenon known as “the peaty paradox”. Regarded today as the “Ultimate Islay Malt”, Ardbeg is a distinctive whisky with a compelling history. During the 1980s and 1990s, Ardbeg suffered from an uncertain future and was purchased by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997. Since then, the distillery has risen like a phoenix and today Ardbeg is well established as a niche, cult malt, with a passionate following.
