Ardbeg 25 Year Old Islay Single Malt Whisky (750mL)
Ardbeg 25 Year Old was bottled from incredibly rare casks filled during some of the Distillery?s darkest days, this is Ardbeg at its most intricate, balanced and beguiling.ÿÿAfter two acquisitions by larger firms and a huge drop in sales, the distillery was forced to close in 1991. It wasn?t until six years later that Ardbeg reopened and they were able to return to producing whisky at full capacity. The distillery has only thrived since then, twice earning World Whisky of the Year honors and even launching some of their whisky into space.
?After a quarter of a century in the cask, you?d be forgiven for imagining that Ardbeg 25 Years Old would have lost some of the hallmark Ardbeg smoky punch. I can assure you it hasn?t,? Ardbeg?s whisky creator Dr. Bill Lumsden said. ?And yet there?s also a remarkable complexity and elegance to this whisky that I find utterly captivating. It?s unmistakably Ardbeg, but unlike any Ardbeg you?ve tasted before.?
Majestic aromas of smoked cream and earthy bonfires are masterfully interwoven with layers of pine and fragrant candle wax. Hot pepper rises on the palate, twisting around lemon sherbet sweetness, while hints of carbolic soap and tar flow into a long aftertaste characterised by delicate aniseed entwined with lingering cream and fudge.
Ardbeg 25 Year Old Tasting Notes:
Color: Bright Amber
Aroma: A pungent burst of smoked cream, peppermint and toffee, with Ardbeg?s classic fennel and pine resin. Distant earthy bonfires mix with herbal and fruity (banana and tropical) notes, along with fragrant candle wax.
Palate: An extremely vibrant, hot peppery mouthfeel leads into a burst of sherbet lemon sweetness (candied apples, pears and orange), hints of carbolic soap and tar, more creamy toffee, aniseed and chilli pepper.
Finish: A long, mellow, lingering aftertaste, with lots of cream, fudge and delicate antiseptic notes.
