Ardbeg 30 year old 1975, 47.8% Platinum Selection Whisky

Islay Region
Distilled 1975 bottled 2005 at 47.8%
Platinum Selection Bottling by Douglas Laing
One of 274 .
Tasting Notes.
Its nose is characteristically aromatic, earthy, sweet, tarry and distinctively peated, a real islay smiler.

The Palate is attractively rounded and full, manifestly oceanic with expected peaty characteristics, still maintaining an attractive sweet profile.

This runs to a finish which is smoky, dryly spiced with more late tar qualities evident.

Dewar Rattray Cask Collection

The quest for the ultimate dram

Is the ultimate dram a dream? Not for the fortunate few who discover their ideal.

Dewar Rattay aim to help them in their search by bottling every whisky in their cask collection at its natural cask strength and colour, without chill filtering.

One result of chill filtering is that in a cold temperature or introduction of ice or cold water the whisky may develop a slight haze, which will disappear at room temperature. The benefit is that the whisky will give a truer flavour, as the master distiller would want you to experience.

Ardbeg Uigeadail 54.2% Cask Strength Islay Malt Whisky

Nose

The undiluted nose is deep and rounded – chocolate caramels and barley sugar combine with dates, raisins and smooth sherry notes. Later, you find leather and linseed oil. With water the sweetness gives way to malted honeycomb, with flowering currants emerging through the smokey sweetness of a well fired fruit pudding

Taste

Sweet, chewy and oily with a silky mouth-feel, the flavour is initially sweet, revealing fruit cake and treacle. This is followed by smoked, barbecued or honey roast food with the slightest hint of olives.

Finish

Long, both sweet and dry with honey, treacle and a trace of lint.
