An explosion of crackling peat sets off millions of flavour explosions: peat effervesces with tangy lemon and lime juice, black pepper pops with sizzling cinnamon-spiced toffee. Then comes a wave of brine infused with smooth buttermilk, ripe bananas and currants. Smoke gradually wells up on the palate bringing a mouthful of warm creamy cappuccino and toasted marshmallows. As the taste lengthens and deepens, dry espresso, liquorice root and tarry smoke develop coating the palate with chewy peat oils. The mouthfeel is firstly lightly spiced, then chewing, mouth watering and full, finally drying.

This Limited Edition Ardbeg Gift Tin replicates Ardbeg's legendary warehouse and celebrates two much-loved Islay characters in Yogi, one of Ardbeg's industrious Stillmen and Shortie, the Distillery's feisty Jack Russell. This gift pack contains a bottle of Ardbeg 10 Year Old 700ml and is the perfect peaty whisky gift.
