Tasting notes by Serge Valentin (WhiskyFun.com) 90/100
I’m glad I could finally taste this unpeated version. The nose starts on fresh apples, apple juice.
Develops on mint, peppermint and citronella. Excellent.
The mouth is sweet but quite spicy, both peppery and gingery, with quite some wood.
In short, it’s bold but very elegant and balanced. So, Ardbeg doesn’t just mean ‘peat’!
