"La Dolce Vita, Islay Style

Sicily, the land of headscarves, scooters and long walks along the beach, drenched in sun. Islay, the land of headscarves, tractors and long walks along the beach, just drenched.

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.

Official Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Rich and complex, with bright citrus (orange marmalade), stewed fruits (apricot), and plump raisins, followed by smoky applewood and earthy undertones like pine needles and salty olives.
  • Palate: Unctuous and thick. Initial notes of lemon curd and creamy orange fondant shift to bitter orange, dark chocolate, baked dates, and cinnamon, all carried by a deep, smoky undertone.
  • Finish: Long and clinging, with notes of soot, charcoal, cocoa, and drying tobacco.
  • With Water: Becomes significantly more savoury and spicy, revealing notes of roasted mushrooms, capers, and chile flakes.
