Gavin Smith
87- Nose
- Assertive, with soot, dry sherry, raisins and claret.
- Palate
- Dry, lots of smoke-both wood and peat, aniseed and fishermen's ropes.
- Finish
- Long and loud.
- Comment
- A 'no bones about it' Islay whisky, and a fine example of Ardbeg.
Dave Broom
85- Nose
- Mature, liquorous and sweet. There's prunes, coffee grounds, cream sherry and dried mushroom; funkier notes of moss, creosote, bung cloth, resin and chimney smoke. A big bugger.
- Palate
- Immediate, all-enveloping smoke. Rich, mature with good grip: dried fig, turf, nuts. Mellow.
- Finish
- Big, intense, smoky. Touch of rubber.
- Comment
- Not exactly discreet...but it's Ardbeg!
