SIngle Malt, Ardbeg Day, 2012
Committee release, cask-strength, 56.7%. Ardbeg is one of the distilleries on the island of Islay (pronounced Eye'-Lah).
NOSE
Thick aroma of peat, fruit, smoked meat, toasted malt, vanilla and brown sugar. A cotton candy and sherry sweet undertow with a light spice. Water almost knocks the spice out completely but opens up some notes of honeysuckle.
PALATE
Warm rich notes of peat, smoked meat, fruit and a complex spice imbued with hints of clove, anise, allspice and cinnamon and a light sherry sweetness. A complex dark sweet undertone (brown sugar, caramel, brittle, toffee, butterscotch) runs throughout. Water doesn't really change it much except to make the spice a little more crisp.
FINISH
Long peaty and fruity with notes of caramel, wood and a sherry like sweetness.
