Originalnotizen vom Abfüller:
Darkness! Ardbeg 23 YO Bottling Note
Peat and Sherry is a combination that not everybody loves, but when it works... Wow. Also, if you subscribe to the formula 'one yummy thing + another yummy thing = a super yummy thing!' then this may well be nirvana. The casks used are specially rebuilt 50 litre fresh first fill Sherry, providing lots of influence in just a few short months. The last Darkness! Ardbeg was finished in a PX cask, now it's Oloroso's turn...
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose: Honey Cheerios and Frazzles! Creamy peaty custard develops, brownies, slightly medicinal but the buttery, chocolatey goodness keeps that just beneath the surface.
Palate: Here comes the Darkness! Dark, concentrated dried fruit and Sherried oak with Brazil nuts near a smoke house - perfectly integrated dark Oloroso and sooty smoke notes.
Finish: Subdued for just a moment... then never ending smoked cheese and burnt ends. Just gorgeous.
Overall: Stunning stuff. A journey in a glass that brings a smile to your face.
Finish: A return to the nose in some ways, with oak, some farmy funk and sweeter prunes re-emerging.
