2005 TSCL 15y

About

Kildalton 2005 TSCL is an exceptional single malt from Ardbeg, one of Islay's most characterful distilleries. This 15-year-old expression showcases a compelling balance between smoke and subtle sweetness, with an impressive cask strength of 54.20% that is remarkably well-integrated. The nose reveals soft malt aromas with lemon and smoke, complemented by gentle sweetness. On the palate, rich sherry notes flood across your taste buds with booze-soaked raisins and dried fruits, evolving into warm roasted malt, chocolate, and smoke. Peppery spice and heathery oak add complexity, while mentholated notes provide intrigue. The finish is long and sticky-sweet, with lingering sherry and smoke that gradually fade.
