Ardbeggeddon III Tasting notes - The
Ardbeggeddon
Dave's pre-purchase tasting notes from cask sample
Our tasting notes from initial sampling upon receipt of Ardbeggeddons in San Francisco on January 8, 2002 The color of the dram is a warm yellow with a slight touch of red. The nose immediately upon opening was a sweet sherry/peat balance that Dave thought had a more pronounced sherry component than he remembered from his earlier tasting of the cask sample. The palate again resonated with peat and sherry with overtones of seaweed, brine and a bit more of a tweak of alcohol than I expected from this 48.4% cask strength bottling. The finish transitioned nicely with a sweet complexity reminiscent of some type of smoky candy we couldn't immediately identify. I described it as being a cross between hard butterscotch candy and toffee, although without the intensity of either. A very complex, peaty, tasty dram... Michael Jackson and David Broom's
