Description

This 25-year-old was introduced to the premium end of the distillery's core range in winter 2020. Having undergone many years without an age statement release, fans were treated to three in quick succession, with this following a 19- and a 5-year-old distillery bottling. A distillery located on the south coast of the Isle of Islay. It is currently part of the Scotch whisky holdings of LVMH. This supreme expression proves unequivocally that age cannot tame Ardbeg's smoky power, but it can yield some of the most complex and majestic flavours ever to burst forth from Ardbeg Distillery.

Nose
A pungent burst of smoked cream, peppermint and toffee, with Ardbeg's classic fennel and pine resin. Distant earthy bonfires mix with herbal and fruity (banana and tropical) notes, along with fragrant candle wax.
Palate
An extremely vibrant, hot peppery mouthfeel leads into a burst of sherbet lemon sweetness (candied apples, pears and orange), hints of carbolic soap and tar, more creamy toffee, aniseed and chilli pepper.
Finish
A long, mellow, lingering aftertaste, with lots of cream, fudge and delicate antiseptic notes.
