Ardbeg 25 Year Old 2022

An impressive 25 year old whisky from Ardbeg, this distinctively smoky Islay single malt Scotch will excite fans of the legendary two-hundred-year-old distillery. Unmistakably Ardbeg, the liquid has been matured entirely in ex-bourbon oak casks for its quarter of a century of aging.

On the nose, waves of smoke and peppermint creams come through, along with Ardbegs classic fennel and pine notes. An earthy bonfire with undertones of herbs and fruit, along with fragrant candle wax. The palate leads to flavours of spicy cracked black pepper, into a burst of sweet lemon drops. Hints of aniseed, creamy toffee plea for attention. A lingering aftertaste of creamy fudge and delicate antiseptic notes follow on the close.
