Description

This rare Ardbeg was distilled in 1965 and was drawn from two exceptionally old casks - #3678 and #3679 - in 2005. The presentation includes a hand-blown glass bottle with a numbered wax seal, matching miniature, a glass display case with locks and a cleaning set with white cotton gloves. A sophisticated authentication technique using encoded microparticles ensures each numbered bottle cannot be replicated or forged.

Nose
Initial wafts of sea spray give way to a mix of luscious summer fruits (blackberries and blueberries) enveloped in ripe peaches. Beneath the mouth-watering fruit, nutty chocolate and vanilla notes emerge. The senses are latterly aware of sweet smokiness, coal tar and gentle peat oils.
Palate
The mouthfeel is warming with a tingly effect. The flavour is initially of a salty sea breeze with fish smoked over an open heather and peat fire. Rich dried fruits (raisins and sultanas) come to the fore with elements of cherry pie and ice cream. Vanilla is present throughout, with peat, espresso coffee and berry fruits completing a myriad of flavours.
Finish
The long finish lingers with peat smoke and blackcurrants, with hints of dark chocolate, dried fruit and traces of sea salt.
