Ardbeg - Grooves | Single Malt Scotch Whisky

NOSE: A thick, spiced aroma of iodine, seaweed and golden syrup leads among a herbal note of lavender. An earthy funk from damp bonfire wood, old oak and dried grass is complemented by lighter touches of butterscotch, stone fruits and a little marzipan icing.

TASTE: Vanilla fudge, toffee popcorn and tarred orchard fruits rise through a big, salty opening. Savoury BBQ notes of cured Italian meats are percolated by paprika, green chilli and scorched herbs. Antique leather and damp oak form an interesting backdrop.

FINISH: Seaside bonfire and smoked salts percolate through a mellow sweetness.

OVERALL: Ardbeg has certainly found its groove with this beauty.
