Ardbeg Kildalton

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

Score: 95 Points

This classic was distilled in 1980, and the nose has notes of straw and dried grasses, and is slightly malty and nutty to boot. The taste is peppery and spicy, then fades slowly to reveal lemon and orange peel notes, along with a slight note of brown sugar. The finish is clean, lingering, and dry.
