Bottling Code DBS0030
Tasted: Sept 2011
Like the previous bottling, the nose is dominated by the Ardbeg with its phenolic and gently peated, burnt wood, rubber, violet and fishy notes. The Glenrothes sits in the background giving richness to the nose. Seems younger than the previous bottling with some high toned floral notes.
The palate is dense oilier than the nose would suggest and subtly honeyed. The Glenrothes initially blunts the Ardbeg until it bursts through on the mid palate with the phenolic fruit, peat and rubber. Great length with the Ardbeg lingering and adding hints of burnt wood and a coastal salinity.
