A joy from the first sip to the long and lingering last. Matured in ‘dolce’ (sweet) Marsala fortified wine casks, Ardbeg Dolce unites dry, sweet Sicilian heat with the classic, intense smoke of Ardbeg bourbon barrels. Inspired by the slow, soulful pace of life in Sicily and the glamourous allure of 1960s cinema, this is a whisky that takes all the elegance and charm of the Mediterranean, and fuses it with the rugged, windswept spirit of Islay. In Ardbeg Dolce, olive groves meet misty coves, Sicilian film reels meet Islay lobster creels, and sweet Marsala heat meets smoky Ardbeg peat – a sensory masterpiece. Fragrant aromas of apricot, plump raisins and orange marmalade steal the scene. Notes of zesty lemon rind and roasted nuts dance alongside dried herbs, smouldering applewood, and chewy peat oils. Bravo! Bravo!
