Tasting Notes
Refreshing, silky and creamy to the palate, the initial sip is sweet with a mixture of sugared almonds, marzipan and hints of dried fruits. Gentle peat oils well up on the palate, remaining soft, clean and dry with a dusting of powdery parma violets. Tangy lemon juice and orange rind freshen the palate with a gentle fizz. Later tingling spices and creamy cappuccino bring a gentle warmth.
Distillery Notes
It's unthinkable now, but in 1981 production ceased and the Ardbeg distillery was mothballed. Happily in 1997, this beautiful malt began to flow again.

The first whisky I tasted when I visited Islay - and veritable explosion of flavour on the palette and a lovely long finish.
