Ardbeg Distillery Eureka! The Ultimate Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Aroma : Full and fruity on the nose with cherry and juicy red apple. Caramel infused coffee grounds and cocoa powder are softened with a retrained smoke initially of heather bonfire and hand rolled sweet tobacco leaves. There are some herbal notes like cedar & fennel present in the distant background. With water dark chocolate and walnut oil comes through and more smoke emerges through the sweeter fruits. Like walking alongside a road that’s being freshly tarred! Taste : An explosion of sweet flavours like nut toffee brittle, raisin fudge and dark fruits (fig, damson and plump cherries) is balanced with a rockpool salinity or salted crispy seaweed. Dark chocolate coated raisins lead into chicory and sweet cinnamon spices alongside a curious drying sensation. The smoke builds up to a crescendo of sweet applewood and a medicinal iodine, burnt moss and ash.
