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 Rollercoaster

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 57.3%

Score: 92 Points

This bottling celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Ardbeg Committee, and there’s plenty to celebrate here. The nose is vibrant and aromatic, reflecting the younger whiskies in the mix, with nice peaty notes and hints of sea spray and smoked salmon. The taste is tingly and peppery with a great mouthfeel, fading to a good balance of brininess and peat. This is one dram that benefits from a splash of water…it lengthens out the taste and adds to the finish. Without water, the finish is short and peaty, but with water, it lingers with a muted smokiness.
