History,
Rollercoaster is a blend of whiskies from each year since the distillery's reopening in 1997 up to and including casks from 2006. Non chilled filtered. Ardbeg rollercoaster was released in January 2010 to mark the fan clubs 10th anniversary. Named after the rollercoaster ride the distillery has endured in recent decades.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: A mix of malt, cold wood smoke and a hint of new make. Has a very young feel - similar to Talisker 10 in this respect. Balanced, striking sweetness.
Palate: Quite big with a peat tingle, though it doesn't quite take off as expected. Instead, it rests on its laurels in a sea of spices, tangy starburst sweets and oily smoke. Light new make character remains.
Finish: More coastal at the finish, sweetness, cool smoke, medium to short.
