836 Ardberg Single cask
Islay, distillery bottling for Verdier in Italy 1 of 246 bottles
Of the many 72 cask Ardberg has released this is one of the finest .Bottled from a
single re fill for Italy in 2003 , over half the cask were returned to the distillery due to
legal issues after the sale of Glenmorangie in 2004. At the distillery almost all the
remaining bottles were used in tasting and such research. this remains, as a result one
of the rarest of all Ardberg bottling. The whisky itself is quite simply stunning the nose
is rich with layers of dense oily phenols, tropical and green fruits, with an unusual
distinctive medical streak running through it. On the palate the ancient peated malt
detonates and after 31 years still come through clean and balanced. The familiar
Ardberg harmony is here in spades, floral, citrus character on the finish and immense
simmering, sinewy creosols and tar all over the mid palate .the medicinal aspect is now
concentrated iodine .An amazing Ardberg and a stunning drink that totally challenges
and beguiles the senses.
