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 Day

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 56.7%

Score: 93 Points

This was Ardbeg’s 2012 Feis Ile bottling, and the nose is predictably peaty with classic tar and creosote notes, undertones of dried peaches and honey with a hint of vanilla for a good balance. The taste is syrupy-sweet for a brief moment, then the peat kicks in. Strong, smoky, and heathery while not overpowering the delicate sweet touches of honey and dried fruits underneath. The finish is smoky and lingering.
