Kingsbury

An excellent late 90s single cask Ardbeg from Kingsbury, especially for the price of just 340£, which is much more affordable than any of the OB Ardbeg Single Cask from the 90s and the 2000s!

Kingsbury Ardbeg 1999 2020 21 Years Old 58,2% Cask 131

90

An excellent late 90s single cask Ardbeg from Kingsbury, especially for the price of just 340£, which is much more affordable than any of the OB Ardbeg Single Cask from the 90s and the 2000s!

Nose

Very typical meaty Ardbeg smoke, but rather elegant and not as punchy as I expected from the ABV, slightly sweet & herbal

Body

Sweet, meaty, slightly spicy, very punchy & intense just the way I would expect an Aaaaaardbeg to be, gets salty & briny, again quite BBQ & a bit coal/industrial towards the end With water the bitterness appear, would not recommend

Finish

Long, sweet, slightly spicy and mouthcoating finish, the meaty smokiness lingers for a while
