Ardbeg Whisky

8 Year Old For Discussion

On the nose, the 8 presents a bold cascade of charcoal, creosote and treacle toffee, with undertones of milk chocolate, aniseed and green peppers melding harmoniously with a touch of sea spray and Ardbeg's signature wood smoke. The palate is greeted by a peppery introduction, leading to treacle toffee, aniseed, salted caramel chocolate and eucalyptus, shifting gracefully from sweet notes to savoury tones of charcoal, smoked bacon and burnt toast. The finish is persistent reminiscent of peppermint and clove, leaving an enduring imprint long after the last sip.
