(Islay) Ardbeg Blasda 70cl

We all know Ardbeg packs a peaty punch, but if you remove some of that peat, can Ardbeg still retain its perfect balance? The mind bog-gling answer is "yes"! By taming the usual mighty peating levels, Ardbeg have created Blasda, peated to an average of just 8 parts per million phenol compared to the more usual 24ppm. Nose: Deliciously sweet and refreshing. reminiscent of baked banoffie pie and roast chestnuts. Taste: Refreshing, silky and creamy to the palate, the initial sip is sweet with a mixture of sugared almonds, marzipan and hints of dried fruits. Gentle peat oils well up on the palate, remaining soft, clean and dry with a dusting of powdery parma violets. Tangy lemon juice and orange rind freshen the palate with a gentle fizz. Later tingling spices and creamy cappuccino bring a gentle warmth
