Tastes

Best bourbon I have had so far!

Mmm-mm!

People always talk about Ardbeg 10, Laphroaig 10 and Lagavulin 16. This one should be in that discussion every time, if you haven't had it you are missing out!

I wish I bought a second bottle of this one right away as it is no longer available in Sweden. One of those bottles that I found myself returning to over and over without drinking any thing else from my collection. The ex-Islay casks is Laphroaig or Bowmore (or both), since Ardmore is also owned by Beam Suntory. When I smelled the glass after it had been empty for a few hours my guess would be Laphroaig casks!

Thought I would try and give some notes (first attempt at this) The Nose: Sweet dark fruit, sherry, vanilla, honey The Taste: Complex, dark fruit, anise, sweet, vanilla, spicy prickling of my tongue and maybe some hints of peat The finish: long, honey, anise, dryness and maybe hints of peat. Final thoughts: Islay whisky with very low ppm of 5, a really great whisky with no color or chill filtering at 46,3% ABV. I am placing this in my top 5 so far! Will be buying this one again in the near future.
