Tasting Notes
The whisky has a superb complexity and incredible finesse and balance. The peat is sophisticated and sweet with chocolate and toffee, smoky violets and creamy meringue with cherry pie, clove and star anise. The palate is dark and deep yet also sensuous and gentle – peat smoke, sweet barley and cocoa.
A mighty whisky with supreme delicacy.
Background
This rare Ardbeg single cask bottling was laid down 10 years ago to commemorate the distillery visit of Lord Robertson, formerly NATO secretary general.
Born in Port Ellen, Lord Robertson could be considered the original Lord of the Isles and is an Ileach through and through. He has hand signed all 202 bottles from this special cask.
As a dedicated supporter of
Erskine, the charity that cares for ex-service men and women, all proceeds from the sale of Lord Robertson's Single Cask bottling will be donated to this worthy charity.
