Ardbeg Anamorphic Islay single malt. Image courtesy Ardbeg.

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 48.2%

Score: 95 Points

This Ardbeg comes from ex-Bourbon casks with toasted heads, and the nose has touches of chili-infused chocolate, a hint of anise, and a slightly herbal character. The taste has notes of grilled citrus, chili powder, dark chocolate, cocoa nibs, and a gentle peatiness. The finish is long with a gentle smokiness and touches of dark chocolate and soft spices. Excellent! (October, 2023)
