Ardbeg 24 Year Old - Forgotten Gems

Tasting Notes

A treasure unearthed by the Forgotten Gems crew, this 24-year-old Ardbeg single malt is a captivating blend of earthy aromas and smoky richness. The nose invites you in with its harmonious blend of salty sea spray, polished oak, supple leather, creamy vanilla, tangy dark berries, and a hint of sweet sherbet. On the palate, layers of sooty smoke and robust spices intertwine with meaty malts, evoking the essence of smoked beer sticks. As the flavors linger, the finish unveils sweet dark fruit, cooked pear, buttery pastry, and roasted nuts, all enveloped in an herbaceous peaty menthol embrace, reminiscent of smoked kippers. With only 34 bottles of this rare gem available, it's a true testament to Ardbeg's legendary Islay heritage.
