| Review #592 |
This is the
2016 Ardbeg Day release. It is matured in ex-Sherry and ex-Bourbon casks. “The
Darkest Ardbeg Ever” some say – well, lets see. Dry dried fruits and peat in
the smell. Dates and raisins. The sweetness is not very dominant and mainly
comes from the dried fruits.
More sweetness
in the taste. The peat sneaks up on you, and some ashes mixes with the dried
fruits and plums. The sweetness carries on to the finish and the dried fruits
becomes very dominant. Hints of spices as well. Delicious stuff!
A nice
sherried Ardbeg. Not quite like Uigeadail and to claim it “The Darkest Ardbeg
Ever” is might a bit much. It is however, a nice supplement to the many other
Ardbeg expressions. Definitely a dram I will come back to. I will give this
89/100 (22/23/22/22).
