Ardbeg 17 years old 1994 Mission by Murray McDavid Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Ardbeg

“Sublime nose! Greatly well aged Ardbeg whisky with all its peat muscle still there.”

92
Ardbeg 17 Year Old 1994 - Mission (Murray McDavid)
A 1994 vintage from Ardbeg bottled as part of Murray McDavid's Mission series, collecting together some of the rarer and more interesting casks that they have hiding in their warehouse.

This Ardbeg single malt whisky was matured for 17 years in a bourbon cask before bottling in 2011 at Bruichladdich.

This dram has a white wine-like color.

Nose (93): more than average. peat, honey, earth, citrus, vanilla, iodine, coffee. Sublime! Most delicate peat punch with the sweetest honey.

Palate (92): smooth, powerful, oily. peat, honey, citrus, floral, earth, cocoa.

Finish (90): longer than average. peat, honey, spices, wood.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Ardbeg 17 Year Old 1994 - Mission (Murray McDavid) with 92 points over 100.
