Tasted in Whisky Magazine Issue 22 by Michael Jackson and Dave Broom.

Whisky Magazine is the perfect complement to the dram in your glass. Every issue brings you fascinating articles on the art, science and romance of the 'water of life', plus page after page of tasting notes.

Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Rich, soft, oily, smokiness. Very appetising.
Palate
A dexterous interplay of grassy peatiness; oiliness; just lurking suggestions of lemony fruitiness, sherry and oak.
Finish
Lively, evocative, maritime flavours. A long walk on a sandy beach, with a vigorous, salty spray.
Comment
One of the best Ardbegs I have ever tasted. Full range of the distillery’s typical flavours, lyrically combined.

Dave Broom

Nose
Dry, amazingly intense. Incredibly concentrated aromas: tarry rope, peat oil, lanolin, red herrings dangling from hooks in the smokehouse. HUGE.
Palate
Sweet, concentrated, pent-up start. Then lime, lanolin, coal tar soap and all those weird aromas.
Finish
Bone dry.
Comment
For true believers only. The most intense, full-on Ardbeg I’ve ever come across.
