Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

  • Tasting Note by Ollie C

    • Nose

      Vanilla and tangerine. Soft creamy tablet with just a background smoke and light (very light) BBQ kipper skins.

    • Palate

      A touch of that Ardbeg chocolate peat smoke but milder. Creamy but turning spicy with rock salt and ground pepper. Drying charcoal and lots of prickle.

    • Finish

      Sour and salty. A touch of sour cream lingers on the palate. Quite dry, with a little menthol.

  • Tasting Note by Stuart P

    • Nose

      Hang on, this is Ardbeg? Much lighter than expected, with the peat fighting for survival against the toasty oak, mocha and peppery notes.

    • Palate

      Creamy coffee to the fore, joined by dark chocolate and mocha, then a refreshing peachy character kicks in alongside peat and black pepper.

    • Finish

      The creamy fruitiness gives way to the trademark (if subdued) Ardbeg peat.

    • Comment

      After some of Ardbeg’s recent big-hitting releases, this is an intriguing, pastel-shaded malt.

  • Tasting Note by Rocky

    • Nose

      Notes of dark chocolate, mocha, tar, peat and vanilla.

    • Palate

      A creamy texture, with the mocha notes continuing, being joined by liquorice, tropical hints of pineapple and mango, and a whack of vanilla from the bourbon barrels. The peat is on the lighter side for an Ardbeg and isn’t overpowering.

    • Finish

      Pretty long finish with the fruity notes slowly dissipating to leave spicy liquorice and peat smoke.

    • Comment

      The peat is nowhere near as strong as I was expecting, with the toasting balancing it elegantly. This Ardbeg Day release is certainly very different in style to the previous editions, but is just as intriguing.

  • Producer's Notes

    • Aroma

      Tarry and herbal notes with hints of mocha.

    • Taste

      Coffee grounds pass to smoked root vegetables, while maple-cured bacon collides with hot-smoked salmon.

    • Finish

      A lingering, smoky vanilla note.
