A remarkable rendition from the Singing Sands...
The Singing Sands is the local name for Islay’s beautiful Traigh Bhan beach. For this captivating place has soft white sands that sing beneath your feet, a hum that ebbs and flows with Islay’s winds and tides.
Incredibly rare, this small batch 19 Year Old Ardbeg greets the senses with a delicate aroma of OLIVE OIL. Curious hints of freshly CUT GRASS, GINGER and SOOT swish on the nose. Fresh PEPPERMINT and BAKED BREAD cascade into classic Ardbeg flavours with CREOSOTE, DARK CHOCOLATE, and the distant whiff of BONFIRE. A long finish carries rich ripples of COFFEE and LIQUORICE that slowly ebb away.
Non-chill filtered.
Oloroso sherry & ex-bourbon cask, ABV 46.2%. 70cl.
HOW TO ENJOY
HOW TO ENJOY
Appearance: Bronze
Aroma: Fresh and clean, with hints of pine resin, aniseed, sea spray and lavender soap- very gentle, very restrained, and rather elegant for an Ardbeg. With water, there is a distinctive, flinty minerality, along with subtle hints of sweet peat smoke, malted barley, and a touch of toasting bread.
Taste: A beautiful, creamy texture is followed by a lovely combination of flavours, with aniseed toffee, café latte, fennel and gentle antiseptic soap. The peat smoke is present, but in a very restrained manner, and leads into a lingering aftertaste with chewy oak, cocoa powder and tar.
Finish: The peat smoke is present, but in a very restrained manner, and leads into a lingering aftertaste with chewy oak, cocoa powder and tar.
Enjoy neat, with a little water or 2-3 large rocks of ice.
