Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
This is a big Ardbge that combines some of the characteristics of the great early seventies style with some of the lighter aspects of the late seventies/early eighties distillates. Lots of mocha, dry tarry peat, linseed oil, bitter cocoa, moss, coal, seaweed, a little medicine and more drying, savory aspects. An all round fantastic dram that shows Ardbeg as a whisky in a very transitional and interesting stage of its life.
