Tasting Notes

Nose

There is a lot my mind is trying to process with this dram. At first, I smell a stinky teenager’s room or a Magic the Gathering convention. It is a mixture of dried old sweat and Fritos. Once past the grodiness, brown sugar and eucalyptus spring forth. There are deep layers of cocoa powder and cocoa nib. On the back end is a touch of kola nut.

Palate

Finish: Comments: Latest On The Whiskey Wash 46.2% ABV

Whisky Review: Ardbeg 19-Year-Old Traigh Bhan Batch 4 landed on my desk at 46.2% ABV, carrying a $300 price tag. Here is what I found.

Nose

Aside from the sweaty stench I first got from the nose, I quite like layers of depth on the palate. The whiskey is smokey but not too overpowering to take away from the nuttiness and fruitiness. It feels balanced for being robust and is a great representation of Ardbeg.
