Ardbeg 17
Country: Scotland
Region: Islay
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Hart Brothers
ABV: 46%
Score: 91 Points
This Ardbeg single cask bottling from Hart Brothers has a dry nose with hints of peat and wood smoke, old leather, and cloves. The taste is dry and smooth with a perfect touch of peat balanced with seaweed and brine, leather notes, pipe tobacco, and cloves leading to a lingering finish. Not a peat monster, but it doesn’t need to be. (2008)
