Islay, the land of headscarves, tractors and long walks along the beach, just drenched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatured 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 rigged, windswept spirit of Islay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"611\" data-start=\"326\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"113\" data-start=\"68\"\u003eTASTING NOTES: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"611\" data-start=\"326\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAroma\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich and complex, the smoke is softened – mellowed by bursts of apricot, plump raisins, sticky date and tangy stewed apple.

An Islay pantry meets a Sicilian garden.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTaste\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpices lead the way in cinnamon, star anise and a flicker of liquorice heat. Then the sweetness unfolds with maple-smoked wood, baked dates with walnuts, honeycomb and dark chocolate.
