ARDBEG Alligator Of 51,2%

Single Malt Whisky, Scotland / Islay, 70cl, Ref: COL16356

“Alligator” est la toute nouvelle édition limitée de l’année 2011 de la gamme Ardbeg, qui tient son nom de la méthode particulière de traitement des fûts dans lequel il a été en partie vieilli.

“Charred Alligator” est un terme utilisé dans les industries du whisky du Bourbon et du Scotch pour décrire la méthode de carbonisation (ou brûlure) à l'intérieur du fût de chêne avant d'être rempli du spiritueux. C’est alors que le bois brûlé prend l'apparence d'une peau d’ alligator d'où le nom de cette toute nouvelle édition. En réalité un assemblage de deux batches d'Ardbeg: un premier vieilli en fûts de chêne neuf américain brûlé à l'intérieur selon la méthode "alligator" (et qui donnent des arômes intenses de bacon grillé), et un deuxième vieilli en anciens fûts de bourbon (qui apportent des notes de crème vanillée aux arômes fumés et tourbés). Le résultat est un spectre spectaculaire d’arômes fumés ainsi que des saveurs de barbecue qui intensifient le côté tourbé et herbacé, symboles de la gamme Ardbeg.

Tasting note

Nose : Ferme et onctueux. La paille évoque clairement l’étable. La tourbe et le poisson séché vont de pair. Le cuir, les fruits secs (noisette, noix), les racines (gentiane, ginseng) happent le palais. L’orge est d’une blondeur absolue.
Palate : Gourmande, caressante dans le sens des écailles, la tourbe est réglissée. Elle se tient à distance laissant aux fruits mûrs (poire, pomme), exotiques (passion, ananas) et au toffee, la possibilité de s’exprimer à leur guise. En cela, elle fait preuve de maturité.
Overall : Longue, racinaire. La terre et la tourbe sont sèches. Une note de vieux rhum nous emmène vers d’autres îles. Le sel et les embruns restent à quai. De la cheminée du bateau s’échappent des volutes de fumée.

The brand

The brand

The Ardbeg distillery produces the peatiest single malt in Scotland In the past, the strong peaty character of its single malts originated from a lack of ventilation in the malt kiln which led to the smoky flavours being locked in. In addition to its peaty character, Ardbeg also presents aromas of liquorice and varnish. The single malts offer a charming, rustic character allied with great sophistication and a rich expression. Thanks to a passionate following among whisky enthusiasts, Ardbeg’s production is almost entirely dedicated to its single malt rather than blends. Find out more
