Ardbeg 1974 31 Year Old, Bourbon Cask #4989
The Tasting Notes
Rich, deep and intense with dark chocolate coated treacle toffees filled with raising and cherry fruit. Smoked malt is discovered as it rises through the rich sweetness bringing smoky heather bonfires, bog myrtle and sea spray.
The taste is rich and smooth. Initially smooth and silky fudge and creamy custard glides over the tongue developing rapidly into a burst of mixed dried fruit (figs, apricots) and tangy lemon peel. Dark chocolate and rum and raisin ice cream bring maturity
Long and gently drying with smooth vanilla, dried fruit and heather smoke.
