Ardbeg 17 Year Old Vintage - 70cl 40%
by Leanne
This release in not unknown to true Ardbeg fans as it was around for 8 years, before being discontinued. Once you gently approach this dram, you will notice it doesn’t contain the big, bold classic Ardbeg smokiness. I can say the age mellowed down its character, not making it less complex though. Silky and oily mouthfeel, sweet peat, tar, cream soda notes and lots of vanilla on the palate. Unbelievably well balanced and gentle.

A very interesting release! Funky and tropical flavour profile retaining the classic Ardbeg character. Pineapple and ripe banana aromas, woodsmoke and cocoa with hints of cinnamon on the nose. Freshly ground black pepper notes on the palate, ginger spices, dark chocolate and an underlay of tropical sweetness. Intense smoke on the finish.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan - 70cl 57.1%
by Reece
Silky and buttery, once you approach this dram you notice the smoke and sea salt aromas opening up to a citrusy sweetness. Pepper notes with lingering toffee, more peatiness and cinnamon sugar finish. Bright and punchy character.

With a very fruity nose, this is a very fine whiskey that Ireland has to offer. To begin we can find aromas of peach and lemon drizzle. On the palate we are hit with lots of sweetness, fruits of all varieties become apparent and hints of marzipan. A long and spicy finish is the perfect ending to this well priced Irish gem.

On the nose we can firstly find aromas of caramel apples and corn followed by butterscotch. The palate again has more corn notes along with rye. Developing a peppery finish with vanilla notes. This is a great whiskey for people who love a classic bourbon!!

Treated myself to this beauty - yes, it’s expensive and no I probably could do without - but it so looks and feels the part. Superb design. Smooth and seemingly faultless mechanisms ensure a clean straight cut every time and manages the ‘V’ cut with ease. Job done!
