By taming their usual mighty peating levels we Ardbeg created Blasda, peated to an average of just 8 parts per million phenol (8ppm) compared to the more usual 24ppm. Roast chesnuts are present on the nose first with citrus, spiced pears and sea-salt coming through. Refreshing and creamy on the palate with flavours of sugared almonds, marzipan and hints of dried fruits. Gentle peat oils well up on the palate, remaining soft, clean and dry.
