Tasting Notes

Nose: Billows of kiln smoke and sea-spray collide with blackberry jam, rose-hip syrup and a drizzle of molasses, underpinned by cracked pepper and cocoa nibs. Palate: A bold surge of smouldering peat embers, liquorice root and briny toffee glides into layers of black-forest gateau, clove-spiked chocolate and candied citrus peel. Finish: Long, smouldering and gently dry—lingering camp-fire ash, port-soaked raisins and a final flourish of salted caramel.

Plunge into a rare, ruby-hued take on Islay peat with Ardbeg 14 Year Old – 2009 Vintage, Port Pipe Single Cask #3918. Filled on the south coast of Islay and matured full-term in a single Portuguese Port pipe, this whisky spent fourteen years marrying Ardbeg’s tarry smoke and briny intensity with waves of dark-berry compôte, chocolate, and warming spice. Bottled in 2023 at natural cask strength (non-chill-filtered, natural colour), only 268 individually numbered bottles showcase an unrepeatable union of maritime power and dessert-wine opulence.
