Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich, deep and spicy. Woody depths contrast with spicy notes of cinnamon, ginger, clove and nutmeg, alongside hints of Brazil nuts in toffee, dates, figs and raisins and a little linseed oil. A splash of water reveals Ardbeggian notes of flowering blackcurrants and aged balsamic vinegar.
Taste: A luxuriously oily but peppery texture leads into an explosion of spice, molasses and Brazil nuts laced with eucalyptus. Sweet honey-coated nuts ebb and flow with savoury notes of maple-cured bacon and antique leather.
Finish: Rich and slightly savoury, with notes of sourdough bread, Christmas cake and coffee.
