The Ardbeg 1992 DL Old Particular Refill Hogshead is an exceptional whisky, boasting an alcohol content of 48.6% and presented in a 700ml bottle. Distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2013 by Douglas Laing, this expression hails from the renowned Islay region, specifically from the esteemed Ardbeg distillery. Limited to just 232 bottles, this 21-year-old whisky is highly sought after by connoisseurs. This whisky is celebrated for its unique and complex nose. It opens with notes of cleanliness and a surprising absence of peat, followed by vanilla, yellow fruits such as peaches and mirabelles, and smoke. Intriguingly, bonfire, eucalyptus, pinesap, antiseptic, and gentian aromas emerge, complemented by a hint of high-quality balsamic vinegar. The palate is equally captivating, offering a soft and smooth arrival with flavors of pear liqueur, mild acacia honey, pepper, quinces, kippers, plum pie, quinine, lime, and cough medicine. The finish is long, ultra-clean, and zesty, with lingering notes of limes, smoke, seashells, and a usual salty tang in the aftertaste. Further reviews describe the nose as surprisingly straightforward and clear, characterized by peat smoke, salt, smoked fish, seaweed, beach walk, salt lemons, and slightly metallic and oily undertones. The taste is noted for being wonderfully dense and full-bodied, with pleasant peat smoke, salty lemon, greasy leather straps, ship's rope, ash, and coal. It unexpectedly becomes fruity with waxy, light fruits. The finish is very long, peaty, salty lemon, and warming. Despite not being directly comparable to the Ardbegs of the 1970s or the late 1990s-early 2000s, this Ardbeg expression remains highly regarded. It is important to note that this whisky was produced by the Laphroaig people, adding an extra layer of intrigue to its unique profile.
