| Description: | History,. In the late autumn of 2011, a rocketship blasted off from Earth traveling at nearly 25,000 miles per hour. Within its cargo hold, the ship carried vials of Ardbeg-crafted molecular compounds, which are being used in a collaborative research experiment being conducted by Ardbeg Distillery and NanoRacks LLC, a Houston-based space research company. The goal of the experiment is to test the effects of a zero-gravity environment on terpenes, a set of chemical compounds that are widespread in nature, as they mature in charred oak casks. Together, a team of scientists from NanoRacks is working closely with Ardbeg distillers to monitor the terpenes as they mature on the International Space Station, and as control samples mature in Warehouse 3 at Ardbeg Distillery in Islay, Scotland. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Dried apricot fruit, Christmas cake and Christmas spice with clove infused linseed oil and faint toffee/fudge. Palate: Rich, fruity and spicy with just enough dry sandlewood, bitter almond and tea-like tannins to add balance and depth. Finish: Long, rich, spiced finish. Overall just a tad too spicy but a most pleasing dram all the same. |
