Ardbeg 30 Years Old Single Malt (40%) NV (Gift Box)

jammy blackberries and cassis

There is fine volume to the exceptionally rich medium weight flavors that possess a seductive mid-palate that delivers fine depth and length on the balanced finish

it is full-bodied and extremely rich

I tend to like more fruit rather than the oxidized and aged characteristics of the very old tawnys

and a 35+-second finish

and coffee

It still feels very firm and has a real backbone

the 2011 impresses for its depth and polish

A brooding but well-layered nose combines notes of both red and dark currants

There is enough wood to notice framing the exuberantly spicy red and dark currant aromas that display an abundance of sauvage and earth nuances

forest floor and humus character that some Gevrey-based wines display that adds plenty of breadth to the very fresh red currant and dark berry suffused nose

dried blossoms
