Ardbeg - 1977 Limited Edition | Single Malt Scotch Whisky

NOSE:
The nose is immediately captivating with Ardbeg’s signature peaty smokiness, interwoven with deeper, darker notes of leather, tobacco, and roasted coffee beans. A hint of dried seaweed and brine adds a maritime edge, while the influence of age introduces subtle aromas of dried fruits, old oak, and a delicate sweetness reminiscent of honey and vanilla. The overall bouquet is rich, complex, and inviting.

TASTE:
On the palate, this whisky is full-bodied and robust, with a perfect harmony of peat smoke and rich, deep flavors. The intense smokiness is paired with layers of dried figs, raisins, and dark chocolate. The malt is complemented by a gentle sweetness from the oak, with hints of toffee, honey, and vanilla. Subtle spices like black pepper, cinnamon, and clove add depth and complexity. There is a slight maritime character, with traces of sea salt and iodine.

FINISH:
The finish is long and warming, with the peat smoke lingering elegantly on the palate, accompanied by a touch of oak, dried fruits, and gentle spices. The whisky leaves a lasting, satisfying warmth, with a final whisper of salt and a touch of vanilla sweetness.
