Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
Ardbeg’s annual limited edition release for 2022 has a punk vibe on the label, but the whisky inside the bottle is classic old-school Ardbeg. The Committee Edition is bottled at 50.1% ABV, while the standard version to be released in June will be bottled at 46% ABV. The nose is smoky and phenolic with hints of heather, coffee beans, creosote, and molasses. The taste is just as smoky with a burst of spices at first, followed by notes of dark chocolate, coffee bans, toffee, and a hint of lime that give it a nice complexity. The finish is long and well-balanced between smoke, soot, and sweetness. (May, 2022)
