Ardbeg Blasda Malt Whisky Tasting Notes;

Nose; baked banoffie pie and roast chestnuts. On further nosing, cloves, pine cones and fresh mint rise appear from the glass, softened by creamy vanilla custard. A tingle of lemon and lime marmalade cuts through the vanilla with spiced pears followed by a breath of menthol and sea salt. Deep ripe fruits fuse with almond and vanilla.

Palate; sweet with a mixture of sugared almonds, marzipan and hints of dried fruits. Gentle peat oils well up on the palate, remaining soft, clean and dry with a dusting of powdery parma violets. Tangy lemon juice and orange rind freshen the palate with a gentle fizz.

Later tingling spices and creamy cappuccino bring a gentle warmth.

Finish; medium in length and tingly with a refreshing balance of chrysanthemum tea, clean lemon zest, creamy vanilla and hints of cinnamon spiced apple.
