Ardbeg 23 yr Vintage_y2k 46% 700ml Islay Single Malt Scotch Whiskey
| Description: | History,. In the dawn of the year 2000, the millennium bug threatened the world's data, causing widespread panic. We looked to take stock. Stored on Ardbeg's system of ledgers, floppies, and antiquated servers were records for every last barrel on site. It was inevitable something, somewhere was going to get overlooked. And sure enough, a handful of casks were inexplicably sent to a distant warehouse. Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K is an ultra-rare whisky matured in obscurity for 23 years until it was finally recovered. This limited edition is the first release of this millennium spirit. Tasting Notes,. Nose: Herbal, sweet and fragrant, with a subtle, distant perfumed smokiness. Next a quirky, zesty note like lemon balsam emerges, along with a suggestion of linseed oil and candied walnuts. A splash of water and the fragrance intensifies, emitting heather honey, a touch of creosote and the tiniest trace of tent canvas. Palate: The texture is fizzy and effervescing (sherbety), with a real, vibrant effervescence on the tongue. At first the flavour is intensely sweet, then shifts as aniseed, toffee, digestive biscuits, peppermint, menthol, tar and coffee grits burst through. Finish: The sooty/tarry flavours keep building, until they finally dissolve into a long, lingering aftertaste of antiseptic lozenges, bitter oranges and oak tannins. |
