The Ardbeg Alligator Untamed Release is an exceptional whisky that offers a unique tasting experience. At 51.2% ABV and presented in a 700ml bottle, this Islay single malt from the esteemed Ardbeg distillery showcases a distinct nose that combines classic Ardbeg peat smoke with the intriguing aromas of burnt tires, plasticine, and seaweed. These notes are then followed by fresh herbs, radish, cress, and rhubarb pie. The palate is briny, earthy, and rooty, complemented by a pleasant sourness from grapefruits and cider apples, followed by pepper, chilies, mustard, and a sweet creaminess. The finish is long, featuring liquorice, marzipan, damp earth, and clay. Matured in heavily charred American oak, the Ardbeg Alligator Untamed Release gains a complex flavor profile and a sense of aged sophistication. Despite the absence of excessive sweetness or vanilla, it boasts impressive complexity and a bold, robust flavor. Adding water brings out more coastal notes, apple peelings, and a drying oak background. This whisky is not merely a peat monster; it is a skillfully crafted and impressive whisky that offers a unique and enjoyable tasting experience.
