Ardbeg 1998 10 years old Renaissance - b. 2008 - 70cl

Ardbeg Renaissance, 55.9%, 70cl

Releases in 2008, Ardbeg Renaissance is the final instalment in the series of single malts distilled in 1998, following the Ardbeg distillery takeover by Glenmorangie. On the nose, sweet and refreshing fruit aromas such as green apples, white grapes and honeydew mellow, with just a touch of smoke. The palate combines sweet and green notes, seaweed, radish and roasted nuts.

The cardboard box is slightly crushed - see the pictures.
