Tasting Notes

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 1998 Single Cask

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 55.4%

Score: 93 Points

Cask #1275 was a first-fill bourbon cask, and the nose is sea air-fresh with notes of coconut, vanilla, and a hint of phenols. The peat comes out to play on the taste, with a smoky pepperiness that blends well with brine and seaweed notes and just a hint of lemon. The finish has an intense spicy note of cinnamon on the throat that lingers with a touch of brine. Add a few drops of water to smooth this one out.
