From the Tasting notes:
Colour: Rich gold
Nose: An enormous whisky, embodying the perfect
balance of sweetness, fruit and deep smoky
aromas
Taste: Sensationally smooth and peaty, a mouthful
of soft and chewing peat smoke rapidly takes
centre stage.
Finish: The finish is very long and scented with
woodsmoke, mandarins and cocoa.
Jim Murray's Whisky Bible says:
'When working through the Ardbeg stocks, I earmarked '77 a special vintage, the sweetest of them all. So it has proved. ...the quality of the distillate is beyond measure: simply one of the greatest experiences ...of your life.
