ARDBEG 25 YEARS OLD
Bottled from incredibly rare casks filled during some of the Distillery's darkest days, this is the oldest whisky to join our core range.<br /><br />This supreme expression proves unequivocally that age cannot tame Ardbeg's smoky power. But it can yield some of the most complex and majestic flavours ever to burst<br />forth from Ardbeg Distillery.<br /><br />Non-chill filtered.<br /><br />Hot pepper. Lemon sherbet. Cream and fudge.<br /><br />A pungent burst of smoked cream, peppermint and toffee, with Ardbeg's classic fennel and pine resin. Distant earthy bonfires mix with herbal and fruity (banana and tropical)<br />notes, along with fragrant candle wax.<br /><br /><br />An extremely vibrant, hot peppery mouthfeel leads into a burst of sherbet lemon sweetness (candied apples, pears and orange), hints of carbolic soap and tar, more creamy<br />toffee, aniseed and chilli pepper.<br /><br />A long, mellow, lingering aftertaste, with lots of cream, fudge and delicate antiseptic notes.<br />

Calvados 8 ans d'age futs...
TYPOLOGY: Calvados Pays d'Auge A.O.C. - ' Reserve du Château 8 Ans futs Sauternes '.<br /><br />PRODUCTION AREA: Pont- l'Évêque - Normandy<br /><br />RAW MATERIAL: Apples (from mainly small trees).<br /><br />DISTILLATION: Before obtaining the cider, the apples undergo blending and pressing, they are carefully washed and treated to extract the pulp of the fruit on the one hand,<br />and the must on the other, which must macerate for at least 6 weeks before reaching the alcohol content required for distillation, i.e. 4.5% vol. minimum.Double distillation,<br />carried out strictly with discontinuous copper stills.<br /><br />SOIL TYPE: Clayey soil, rich in nitrogen and potassium.<br /><br />COLOUR: Brilliant and luminous<br /><br />BOUQUET: Soft and fruity, with wonderful aromas of walnut, unripe hazelnut, fresh almond and vanilla<br /><br />FLAVOUR: In tasting, the apple remains very present, and the aftertaste is long and exceptional<br /><br />AGEING: It is aged in French oak barrels for at least 8 years and then carefully blended before bottling. As far as ageing is concerned, Calvados is very similar to the<br />classification of Cognac and Armagnac and just as with these spirits, only the age of the youngest distillate counts. If one mixes a 2-year-old calvados with a 30-year-old,<br />the final product has two years of ageing. This detail is important, because like brandies, Calvados is a blend of different vintages and distillates in terms of type and age.<br />What matters to the master distiller is the final product, so he tries to blend to find balance and finesse.<br />
