SCYFOOD > Whisky Ardbeg 1973 #1146 Contact Customer Service ENQUIRY Distilled 16 March 1973. Bottled 14 October 2004 by Ardbeg Distillery, Argyll. Bottle no. 34 of 219. Cask no. 1146. Matured in Bourbon Hogshead. In original carton. Good labelling. Level: into neck. "Colour: gold. Nose: much more classically Ardbeg, with lots of tar, peat smoke, liquorice, wet hay and wet dog plus a little eucalyptus and camphor as well as lemon juice and fresh almonds. Very bold and sort of electric. Huge notes of new tyres, coal smoke... This is just 'Ardbeg'. Fab stuff. Mouth: a superb attack again, on espresso coffee, chestnut honey and of course lots of peat. Peated malt (grains), salted liquorice, hints of cloves and nutmeg plus some great oaky tones... Gets very medicinal... and a long finish on chlorophyll, peat, liquorice and a pinch of salt... Yes, just fab and, again, dangerously drinkable." (5 stars-Whiskyfun) 700ml. Single Malt., 49.5% volume.
