2nd time tasting:
Nose - blueberry jam, blue cheese, espresso, chocolate, burnt wood.
Taste: blueberries / dark fruit immediately turns into bacon grease and then disappears. The finish returns with that mint after taste but now it has the edition of a burnt hay. Fairly generic vegetation note as well. Very lingering black pepper finish as well.
Water intensifies the fruit notes as well as the malt. It turns the taste into what I can only describe as motor oil. The flavors definitely evolved from last time but it’s still a 3.5 from me
Gives a new dimension to Ardbeg. Fine dram. Gives a heavy hit just like a scotmans kilt that blows up with the wind, except, this is a good experience.
This is my first taste of any big single malt scotch.
The nose gave me maple, citrus, and that medicine smell.
Taste was pepper heat, citrus, and some cut grass.
I don’t have anything to compare this to, so more single malt is needed.
Where do I go from here?
