COLOR |
|
Pale straw, weak Norwegian tea, pale yellow with a hint of diluted teal. |
NOSE |
|
The first whiff contains the anticipated Ardegian signature of iodine, seaweed, peat, smoke, and creosote. Perpetuum goes a step further with hints of brown sugar, chocolate, vanilla, cream, root beer, and Coca Cola. |
FLAVOR |
|
Again, typical Ardbegian flavors are noticeable -- seaweed, creosote, peat and smoke -- which combine well with additional interesting hints of soap, oil, salt, honey, and some indistinguishable sea floor flavor. |
FINISH |
|
Perpetuum has both medium and long components to the finish. On the medium side there's butter, vanilla, and chocolate. On the long side there's salt and smoke. |
COMMENTS |
|
An interesting combination of young and old single malts crafter together into moderately bold dram. It's sweeter than most Islays. |
