This set features a 70cl bottle of Ardbeg 10 Year Old (a timeless expression), a 5cl of Ardbeg Corryvreckan (intense and well-peated, named after a whirlpool) and a 5cl of Ardbeg Uigeadail (featuring whisky matured in Sherry casks), all within a handsome presentation box.”
From the Islay region of Scotland.
Best consumed at room temperature
Taste: An explosion of crackling peat sets off millions of flavour explosions: peat effervesces with tangy lemon and lime juice, black pepper pops with sizzling cinnamon-spiced toffee. Then comes a wave of brine infused with smooth buttermilk, ripe bananas and currants. Smoke gradually wells up on the palate bringing a mouthful of warm creamy cappuccino and toasted marshmallows. As the taste lengthens and deepens, dry espresso, liquorice root and tarry smoke develop coating the palate with chewy peat oils. Aroma: A burst of intense smoky fruit escapes into the atmosphere of peat infused with zesty lemon and lime, wrapped in waxy dark chocolate. Bold menthol and black pepper slice through the sweet smoke followed by tarry ropes and graphite. Savour the aroma of smoked fish and crispy bacon alongside green bell peppers, baked pineapple and pear juice.
