Ardbeg Kelpie is named for the legends of the sea around Ardbeg. Its powerful aromas of oily peat, salty seaweed & tarry rope have been produced by virgin oak casks from the Black Sea, intermingled with the hallmark Ardbeg flavour profile. Waves of spicy black pepper give way to a delectable tide of bacon & dark chocolate. Incredibly deep. Nose: Powerful, oily peat, dark chocolate, smoked fish, hints of seaweed, & a curious, sharp herbal note. Spicy black pepper & a splash of water brings forth some classic Ardbeg notes, such as creamy coffee, smoked fudge & pine resin. Even some hints of smoked coconut. Palate: A peppery mouth feel is followed by a crescendo of rich flavours. Treacle toffee, Turkish coffee, smoky bacon & lots of dark, dark chocolate. A curious burst of peachy, estery fruit, hickory wood, clove oil & a suggestion of black olives. Finish: Seemingly lasting forever, with deep, deep, almost subterranean flavours of clove, tar, & rich toffee. *box not included
