Ardbeg Spectacular Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Size
- 750ml, bottle
Beyond the Label
Tasting Notes
Aroma
Curiously perfumed and aromatic, with lovely, fragrant top notes like lavender and incense candles. Underneath are deeper notes of leather, almond nuttiness, and a touch of wax. A splash of water opens up the bouquet, revealing woodsmoke, damp peat moss, a hint of menthol and more antique leather.
Taste
The mouthfeel is salty, but viscous at the same time, and leads in to a burst of huge, salty, savory, smoky flavors, eucalyptus oil, salted caramel toffee, smoked pecan nuts, fragrant woodsmoke, creosote and tar. There is also a background sweetness, like a smoky pear crumble and some fudge.
Finish
Finally on the long lingering aftertaste, more leather, salted caramel and a cooling mentholic sensation.
