Ardbeg 8 Year Old Whisky

Ardbeg 8 year old whisky is a bold, youthful, intentionally provocative whisky designed for enthusiasts who appreciate the allure of smoky flavours.

• Packed with intensity, it delivers a burst of charcoal, creosote, tar, and treacle toffee. Accompanied by intriguing hints of vegetal elements such as fennel, celery, and green peppers. As these initial notes subside, nuances of milk chocolate, aniseed, and woodsmoke emerge. A drop of water unveils additional herbal tones like fennel, coriander, and lavender. Alongside the distinct Ardbeg aromatic woodsmoke and a touch of fresh, salty sea spray
• Upon adding water, an oceanic minerality sweeps in, bringing a refreshing breath of cool, briny seaspray. Waxed lemon and lime follow suit, accompanied by coal tar soap, beeswax, and herb-infused pine woodlands. Toasted vanilla and sizzling cinnamon mingle with warm hazelnut and almond toffee, creating a harmonious symphony of flavours
• A uniquely peppery sensation on the palate transitions into a multifaceted symphony of flavours. Including treacle toffee, aniseed, salted caramel chocolate, eucalyptus, menthol, and briar wood, among others. The persistent, tingling, peppery feel on the palate persists, as the sweeter notes gradually yield to savoury elements like charcoal, smoked bacon, burnt toast, and tar
• The aftertaste is long and lingering, with a suggestion of peppermint and clove
