Tasting Note :

 

Ardbeg 1978/1997 'Limited Edition' (43%, OB, no code, 70cl)

 

Nose : Starts soft and polished for such an old Ardbeg. Relatively round and sweet.
It definitely needed a few minutes to open up - particulary in the nose department.
Lots of complexity in the background - and of course, there's peat.

 

Taste : Peaty, but encapsulated within a smothering layer of sweetness.
A hint of smoke and sherry. Lots of wood in the finish. No peat monster

 

Score : 86 points. As a whisky it's excellent, as an Ardbeg it's slightly underwhelming
