Distilled under the supervision of Dr Bill on 22nd August 2011 Wholly matured for 8 years in a Côte-Rôtie barrique, a famous Rhône wine. The resulting whisky is brimful with depth, power and intensity, but this particular example also displays an amazing degree of finesse. Official Tasting Notes by Dr Bill Lumsden Nose : Deep, pungent and salty, with medicinal notes, dark chocolate, brambly fruit and the tiniest hint of vanilla. A splash of water brings out a flinty minerality, along with pungent floral notes like narcissus or lilies. As the bouquet continues to open up, the classic, smoky Ardbeg character starts to build. Palate : The mouthfeel is full and rounded. The primary flavour is bold and svaoury, with deep peat smoke, a curious rubbery note, and the suggestion of smoked cocoa powder. There is a soft oiliness throughout, with crunchy oak tannins and a touch of clove and nutmeg. The aftertaste lingers with salted peanuts, dark chocolate cream and a touch of coal tar.
