Michael Jackson
85- Nose
- Assertive, briny, seaweedy, tar-like. Hint of sulphur.
- Palate
- Sweetish. Cereal grains, oil, gorse. Tightly combined flavours.
- Finish
- Oily. Lemon skins. Freshly-ground white pepper. Very appetising.
- Comment
- Not the most muscular Ardbeg, but still robust.
Jim Murray
90- Nose
- A gentle, seductive sweet peat leads the way to a complex arrival of malt and vanilla.
- Palate
- Soft and languid at first, brilliant chewy malt and cocoa adds the depth and balance.
- Finish
- There is a delightful level of residual peat which ensures a long finish.
- Comment
- I admit to being a little biased here as I did have a hand in putting this whisky together. But I must say I adore it for its wonderful balance.
