Tasting Notes - Jim Murray
Nose: The peat courses through the aroma, in perfect balance and harmony with the oily malt.

Palate: The malt is soft at first but then, the peatiness gathers pace and intensity until it positively glows.

Finish: The oak Bourbon-malt-peat-cocoa characters all ebb and flow but is joined by a late fruity ripeness and a sprinkling of peppers.

Comment: This is the finest whisky I have ever tasted. As close to perfection as makes no difference.

Ardbeg Lord of Isles (OB)

Região: Islay
Tipo: Single Malt

ABV: 46%

Idade: 25 anos

Tasting Notes - Michael Jackson
Nose:Sea air and smokiness – evocative sootiness.

Palate: Silky. The touch of fruitiness, usually reminiscent of lemons, is sweeter, with a momentary suggestion of cherries. The flavours become almondy and walnut-like, then rooty and peppery.

Finish: Long, haughty.

Comment: Lots of flavour development, complexity and refinement. Very elegant, but where is the clamour of battle?
