Ardbeg Kildalton

Ardbeg Kildalton Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Originally launched a few weeks after Feis Ile 2014. And only available at the Distillery.

Bottled at 46% and non chill filtered, Ardbeg Kildalton whisky has been created by Dr Bill Lumsden, director of distilling and whisky creation at Glenmorangie, using a range of ages and styles of Ardbeg matured in ex Bourbon and ex Sherry casks.
'Ardbeg Kildalton is a rather curious whisky, created from an interesting cask selection' said Lumsden. 'Sublime whiskies from two carefully selected years have been chosen for their juxtaposed, but complementary styles.
A blessed marriage of firm, smoky, but creamy Ardbeg from Bourbon barrels with rather racy, spicy whiskies from new and refill Sherry casks has given a harmonious union of bold, colourful flavours. ( Bottle size 700ml)

Nose: Vanilla, creamy toffee, citrus, roasted nuts, and gentle peat smoke.

Palate: Creamy with vanilla custard, honey, sweet spices, dried fruits, and dark chocolate.

Finish: Long, with lingering peat smoke, sweet malt, and spiced oak.

Ardbeg Kildalton offers a balanced blend of smoky and creamy flavors, enhanced by bourbon and sherry cask maturation. Bottled at 46% ABV and non chill filtered.
