Ardbeg 2000 Vintage Y2K — это мягкий, хорошо сбалансированный и довольно дымный виски с цитрусовыми, травянистыми и солёно-минеральными нотами, который многие считают приятным и лёгким для Ardbeg. Главная претензия, повторяющаяся в отзывах, — высокая цена и недостаточная интенсивность вкуса относительно неё.
развернуть подробно
В носовых описаниях преобладают дым и торф, но подчёркивается их относительная лёгкость для Ardbeg, а также цитрусовые (лимон, лайм, апельсин, грейпфрут), травянисто-растительные ноты (розмарин, тимьян, зелёный табак, сено), морские и минеральные оттенки, ваниль, мёд и специи для выпечки. Во вкусе отмечают мягкость и сливочность, дымно-смолистый и слегка сладкий характер, цитрусовые, специи, кофе, дубовую пряность, а также фруктовые и травянистые тона; алкоголь описывают как хорошо интегрированный. Финиш чаще называют средним или длинным, дымным, пряным, с оттенками золы, соли, кофе, шоколада и цитрусов.
Вместе с тем ряд отзывов указывает на слабость и недостаточную интенсивность: вкус кажется водянистым, ароматы угасают, а крепость 46% воспринимается как ограничивающая. Неоднократно звучит мысль, что виски хорош, но не оправдывает очень высокую цену, и что за меньшие деньги можно получить сопоставимый профиль (например, 10-летний или Uigeadail). Отмечают также минимальное влияние шерри и светлый цвет для 23-летнего виски. Часть отзывов прямо называет его продуктом скорее для коллекционеров, чем для любителей виски.

Tasted on 01.01.2025.
I thought that the well-balanced aging feeling felt with soft and gentle smokga was definitely a good whisky.

Well... I'm not thrilled. I would have loved to have found this one mega, but it feels a bit like a weak Ardbeg. With a remarkably high price tag.
Nose: Citrus, lemon, herb, peat Taste: Lemon, malt, drupe, cream Finish: Malt, peat

| Нос | 90 | A little shy, smoke, spices, citrus fruits, baking spices (hint of vanilla), sweet with a little honey, a little maritime and mineral, a little tar and hemp rope. Overall quite harmonious and pleasant. 89-90 |
| Вкус | 89 | soft, smoky-tarry, slightly sweet, citrus fruits, spices, baking spices, a little hemp rope, coffee, oak spice. The slightly bitter oak notes cover the palate for a moment. Alcohol is well integrated. 89-90 |
| Финиш | 88 | spicy-smoky, hint of sweetness, citrus fruits, oak spice, spices, coffee, chocolate, hemp rope, hint of salty/mineral. The finish is relatively long with smoke, oak spice, ash and a little salt. Thanks Axel for the sample! |
When I first tried the whisky in the shop, I thought it was quite good, but for the price it was a bit - well. A few days ago it was part of the line-up of a pure Ardbeg tasting and had enough time to develop - quelle différence! It is undoubtedly a bit reserved in the smoke for an Ardbeg, but it is silky, smooth, balanced, full and damn tasty. I have to revise my original assessment upwards: at least 90 points.

Nose: gentle smoke, lots of florality and herbs, burnt bread crust, burnt. Taste: lots of herbs - rosemary, thyme, gooseberries, currants, baked apples, a touch of citrus and tropical fruit. Finish: long and full - coloured pepper, cinnamon, buttered toast, vanilla pudding, caramels, liquorice, aniseed.
Very drinkable and nice - pretty good!

As others already pointed out the sherry influence is minimal, both tastewise and colourwise (it's really light for a 23 years old). It's a refined and enjoyable dram, nice to taste an official Ardbeg of this age. I can't comprehend why they didn't bottle this one at cask strength for a bit more intensity. Especially at his very high price point. I had this in a large Ardbeg verticale, and this one was in the same ballpark the 19yo Traigh Bhan (batch 3). That one offers the same flavour profile for a third of the price.

| Нос | 90 | Peat at the front of course, although it is relatively light. It opens up beautifully with sea air, pine needles, a subtle floral touch and rosemary . A fruitiness develops with lemon peels, gooseberries and something like smoked green apples. |
| Вкус | 89 | The peat remains rather light, now more soft and sweet than fresh. Vanilla, milk chocolate, citrus fruits, apples and those lovely gooseberries again. An impression of barbecue smoke emerges from the back, together with a refreshing sour note. |
| Финиш | 89 | The peat becomes more assertive on the finish, it's now more ashy and medicinal. Olive oil, thyme and coffee pair with citrus fruits and nectarines. A saltiness develops together with light spices and smoked lettuce (had this one in a restaurant, a positve surprise!). |

A well-crafted Ardbeg, full, rich, balanced and elegant, a bridge between past and present that enchants and engages, with a very apt gradation. In a nutshell, good.

| Нос | 91 | Citrus and vegetal peat as the first impression on the nose, where tangerine, grapefruit and blond orange are soaked in arboreal smoke amidst the burnt grasses and grilled herbs (rosemary, marjoram), with a coastal vein. The maritime part opens up rapidly in a crescendo of briny and salty notes bordering on hydrocarbon, supported in the background by pastry (custard, burnt meringues, marzipan, lime honey), nuts (walnuts, macadamia) and fruit (baked apple, blueberries, plums) with a spicy veil between cloves and liquorice. Harmonious. |
| Вкус | 90 | On the palate, it attacks with spices (black pepper, cloves, ginger) and herbs (even a hint of balsamic), with citrus fruit in the foreground (with the addition of lemon and chinotto) and peat, always vegetal with island tones, with a solid, well-distributed smoke on the walls of the mouth. It is the grill that dominates the evocations, sizzling fruit (plums, apples, blueberries, peaches), olives, herring and marshmallow, accompanied by a touch of baklava and rhubarb. A concert of saline, sweet and bitter notes enveloped in smoke. |
| Финиш | 90 | Long finish marked by citrus and salt, rhubarb, spices, liquorice, baked apple and intense, enveloping smoke. |
citrus, tobacco, pepper, lemon, cookie dough, minerals, phenolic peat, really nice but the question is always whether that is that much better than the TEN

Beautiful yellow colour, substantial droplets cling to the glass. Side by side with the Ardbeg 21 Seann Chreag. Comparing apples and oranges proves to be the case during and after the tasting. The 21-year-old has been aged in VERY active Oloroso casks, judging by the whisky's appearance, smell, and taste. WB states that this whisky was matured in Sherry casks, but I highly doubt this. If this is the case, they were certainly refill and/or fairly inactive Sherry casks.

Great dram, but the price is a bit too high. Better to get 20 bottles of the 10 year old.

Very good Ardbeg, but far from the price (the price is not included in the rating) If you go by the marketing, I would have to give 5 points more. :-) 81-85 – Wow, really good one

| Нос | 91 | Asian pear, lemon, moss and kiwi. Mixed with grass, sweet potato, peat and monk fruits. After a sip, beansprouts, raw peanut, and a touch of stainless steel. |
| Вкус | 90 | Monk fruit, lemongrass, earth, dried lemon peel, and aloe vera. Fresh yet with an intriguing earthy undertone. |
| Финиш | 90 | Quite peaty, heavily smoked jerky, dry mud, celtuce, malt and dark chocolate. |
The first smell is, as hoped, a beautiful, old-aged Ardbeg. But in the mouth, the weakness of the 46% becomes apparent... unfortunately, the aromas diminish with each sip. What a pity. It rose well, but has lost a lot of its strength.

Spicy-smoky, menthol, has a nice power, herbal candy, mint, earthy and peppery... but in the best sense.
A whisky that doesn't live up to the taste expectations for its price.
