Bottled for Geert's Whisky Bar @ Hotel Bero
Historical context
Distilled during a period when Ardbeg distillery was closed (1991) and later reopened in 1997. Early 1990s Ardbegs are noted for having characteristics similar to pre-1977 casks.
Special release
Exclusive bottling for Geert's Whisky Bar @ Hotel Bero and a second festival bottling for Lindores Whisky Fest 2014.
Allocation
Belgium (Geert's Whisky Bar @ Hotel Bero)
Nose
Lots of cold ashes and coal smoke, leather, hints of flax ropes and burnt chestnuts. A box of cigars, maybe two. Also a faint medicinal note, something like eucalyptus cream. Liquorice and soft brine. Oil lamps. Dark chocolate after a while, blackberries as well.
Palate
Very oily and fairly dry, again much sootier and less sherried than its predecessor. Quite a lovely, old-school style – so far away from recent official Ardbegs and so much closer to old Port Ellen or 1970's Ardbeg. Pipe tobacco. Little fruity notes, although there is a vague sweetness of (dark) chocolate. Leather and liquorice.
Finish
Very long, with liquorice, deep cigar smoke and smoked ham. Just enough chocolate roundness again.
