Ardbeg Kelpie
The Tasting Notes
A wonderful, intense nose, with lots of different, intertwined aromas - powerful, oily peat, dark chocolate, smoked fish, hints of seaweed, and a curious, sharp herbal note. Waves of spicy black pepper.
A peppery mouthfeel is followed by a crescendo of rich flavours. Treacle toffee, Turkish coffee, smoky bacon and lots of dark, dark chocolate. A curious burst of peachy, estery fruit, hickory wood, clove oil and a suggestion of black olives.
Seemingly lasting forever, with deep, deep, almost subterranean flavours of clove, tar, and rich toffee.
Details
Ardbeg Kelpie was a limited-edition bottling created to celebrate Ardbeg Day 2017.
It is the Distillery's first whisky with a heart matured in virgin oak from the Black Sea coast. Renowned for imparting incredibly deep flavour notes, only a handful of whiskies have ever been matured in these Black Sea casks.
Married with hallmark ex-bourbon Ardbeg, it results in a whisky of incredible depth, which tells of its ties to the Black Sea and the waves of flavour its casks have created.
Non-Chill Filtered.
