Auriverdes — узнаваемо ардбеговский дымный и торфяной виски с ванилью, цитрусовыми, шоколадом, кофе и морскими нотами, но мнения о нём расходятся: от похвалы за мягкость и сложность до критики за водянистость, слабость и завышенную цену.
развернуть подробно
В отзывах Auriverdes описывают как дымный, торфяной и морской виски с йодом, смолой, травянистыми и солёными нотами, а также с ванилью, цитрусовыми, карамелью, шоколадом, кофе и мокко; часть дегустаторов отмечает мягкий, округлый, сливочный или очень сладкий профиль, иногда с холодным пеплом и дёгтем. При этом многие считают его слишком близким к обычной «десятке» и не стоящим своей цены, а отдельные мнения резко отрицательны: «посредственный», «разочаровывающий», «не стоит 100–140 евро». Другие хвалят его как доступный и достойный лимитированный релиз, иногда называя одной из лучших специальных бутилирований Ardbeg и отмечая, что он лучше Ten или Perpetuum; есть и сдержанные оценки вроде «хороший, но не революция» или «не совсем моё».
Мнения расходятся и по характеру: одни находят его очень сладким и дымным, другие — скорее пепельным, горьковатым, менее сладким и менее торфяным, чем ожидается от Ardbeg, а также водянистым и «молодым». Несколько человек отмечают, что виски раскрывается только после долгого дыхания в бокале — от 20–60 минут, — и что вода идёт ему на пользу, хотя у части дегустаторов она усиливает сладость, но лишает интенсивности; при сравнении с Ardbog и Uigeadail упоминаются более низкая крепость, больше ванили и банана в аромате и наименьшие изменения от воды. По цене около 160€ на Whiskybase его называют неплохой сделкой на фоне свежих релизов за 150€.

I expected more from that famous jubilee edition. But still allright. The nose is as usually the best bit, even that evaporates a bit with the ten days it took me to finish the bottle. I would have liked a bit more kick in the taste, as it is supposed to be, and not combining with two may flavours robbing the smoke off almost like Highland Park do and the ABV is not that much felt while drinkng, i did get drunk without noticing. But it should be noticeable, not like the aftertaste.

Great, successful Ardbeg, who reminds me of Alligator, but sweeter
reminds me of the Ardbeg Aligator because of the toasted oak - vanilla
Honestly, what were they thinking? This one is so close to the regular TEN that I can't even be bothered to give any nosing or tasting notes - look at page of the Ardbeg TEN, you will find them there. And they are charging you at least three times the cost of a TEN. In some shops you have to pay even more. Now, if this would have been a TEN for around €35, then it would have been awarded with 85 Points. But since it isn't I will give it 75 Points and that means you probably shouldn't buy it for its taste. Buy a TEN if you want something to enjoy. Sensible buying advice: If you want one for your collection then don't rush it and don't buy it now at any price. There is a chance that this bottling will still be around in a year or so like the 2013 Ardbog is still available today. There is a high demand NOW and that leads to certain shortages because of the unequal distribution of this demand and the actual whisky worldwide. This will likely even out after some time and it becomes available again at a price that is lower than what some shops are asking for at the moment.

Take it and buy it all I do not need it, like the other Ardbegs, I find the hype pretty unnecessary and exaggerated and 100, - € he is really not worth it NOTE: in school grades, he would be a 3, that is mediocre.

Taste is clean, coastal and nicely citrusy without the peat explosion I was hoping for. Not overly complex and the palate is a little thin, quite light body. For sure good whisky, but not the bang for your buck from Ardbeg

Aroma: Tar and herbal notes, charred wood, and even a touch of mocha, and a slightly vanilla touch, pleasant ... Taste: with a small start, slightly tingling and burning, spicy then sweet and "relatively fast" gentle ", something different as one would expect from an Ardbeg, can not define exactly but with woody notes that are not typical oak, something own but not bad or disturbing ... just something different ... finish: soft, with some smoke but also a bit fruity with a light vanilla, hints of ash and wood not quite typical oak ... Conclusion: I found it delicious even if something different than expected ...

Ardbeg Auriverdes Tasted 2014-07-20 @ WhiskyInteam Spaden Strong seaweed, peat, slightly pepper and salt in the smell, Flavored smoke with chocolate, spice and coffee, but still mild on the finish with roasted aromas, very good! 86
Not a special Ardbeg, pretty average. Pretty OK to drink, but far away from deserving an investment of 100-140 Euro for those who want to buy Whisky to enjoy a good dram. I cannot detect notes that would justify any rating higher than for the Ardbeg 10.
pale gold color, discreet nose at the beginning then moderately expressive then, on a vanilla peat, finer than in the Ten, quite close to that of Corry, medicinal notes, marine, smoked meat, little fruity, just a little lemon in the bottom. Mouth quite soft, a little soft, it gives the impression of being too diluted (or I came across a bottle end?) Thick texture, very vanilla, spicy, easy to drink but lack of scale, candied lemon and the rubber side of Ardbeg in the bottom. Pretty good length. A little disappointed by this new version, once again with limited editions of Ardbeg, it is far from the level of Corry even if it is not bad.

I forgot to review this before emptying the bottle :( A mediocre Ardbeg. The Day, Uigeadail and Corryvreckan are way better. The Ardbog is somewhat better. Fresh, grassy and young. I enjoyed it but wont buy another bottle.
Definitely smoky and ashy like a typical Ardbeg but not much other aromas like citrusy, lemony, etc. I'm also missing the great sweetness of the best Ardbegs and thus it is rather too dry for me. Actually disappointing.
I notice I have meanwhile moved away from Ardbeg. The alcohol is strong, the smoke is too weak. It lacks the depth in this whisky. Actually disappointing, because I do not find the special in this whisky. He is just nice and obliging. No corners and edges and very similar to the TEN. He wants to please everyone and that's the problem.
[October, 2014] I had another dram during a "Feis Ile 2014" tasting at Bonn.In my old rating system (ten scales that translate into WB points: 50 - 66 - 75 - 80 - 82,5 - 85 - 87,5 - 90 - 92,5 - 95) I scored it 90 points again. My notes state I waited more than half an hour before taking the first sip.
Very round, very successful, only priced as always ambitious.
Tasting Whiskynotes.be : Ardbeg Auriverdes (49,9%, OB 2014, 6660 btl.) Nose: Ardbeg alright. Typical iodine, peat and a pickled green pepper / mustard sharpness. Burnt toast and tarry ropes. Smoked fish. Soft citrus. Hints of coffee, although I’m not getting the big emphasis on mocha aromas that Ardbeg is promoting. Peppery notes. A tire shop. Chalky notes. Also a roundness – I wouldn’t call it fruity but there are estery notes and vanilla nonetheless. Complex and balanced. Mouth: starts with a slight sweetness (sweet bacon) before it turns to big smoke and lots of medicinal notes. Also faint bitter notes: grapefruit zest, roasted coffee beans. A little more narrow than the nose. The mocha does come out in the aftertaste. Mouth: really long, sooty, with some dark chocolate and a pronounced oakiness. Great nose, with maybe a little too much sharpness on the palate to be entirely stunning, but it’s way better than what I expected from what’s essentially a result of clever marketing. One of the best modern Ardbegs in my opinion. Around € 100. Score: 89/100
Peat on the nose, but nothing frightening either. Rich fruits masked by grilled bacon. Quite soft. Sage, same. Later, it's the awakening of cereals. On the palate, bold, with sweet spices and honey. Finest fat, enveloping, with lemon zest, smoke, very long. The most accessible Ardbeg I have ever tasted. It seems to me that the 10 years has more cojones. Enthusiasm 3/5
very Ardbeg, straightforward and if you like Ardbeg (like me), a nice drop. He is no extravagant whisky, like the Ardbog. It all depends on peat and vanilla. But it does not always have to be complicated to make it taste good.

Nice full mouthfeel, the whisky sticks to the glass quite well.
Well worth it, initially its a lot like a mild version of Ardbeg 10 but it develops into something much different as it breathes.
Tasted by Ardbeg Ambassador in Denmark, Juul's Wine and Spirits June 2, 2014.
I touched the sky
A slightly better (new) Ten, for the double (or today 3-4 times) price. The Marketing Department and Dr. Ing. But a big compliment - next time there will probably be specially toasted wood bites, because then even the Toasting the floors is too expensive. Alligator (very good!)> Auriverdes (medium)> ??? (hopefully better)

[September, 2014] I had another dram during an Ardbeg-Masterclass tasting at Bonn. In my old rating system (ten scales that translate into WB points: 50 - 66 - 75 - 80 - 82,5 - 85 - 87,5 - 90 - 92,5 - 95) I scored it 90. I took no detailed notes as I knew it before. But there is a little hint to fully enjoy this complex dram: It demands a very long time of oxydation (about an hour in the open glass) to show its full beauty. How did I found out? A nice little story... I decided to open my first bottle of Auriverdes on the night of the Football WM final in Rio (because of the nice little three golden stars on the package - the German team fought for its fourth star while Argentina was eager to get its third...). I said to myself I will have my first dram with the first goal scored (no matter what team). You remember, there were no goals at all (except an off-side goal by Argentina in the first half). So I got impatient over time, opened the bottle during the half-time break and poured a dram. But I stayed strong and did not have the smallest sip (not even a nose). No goal in the second half either and even during the overtime it took quite a while until Mario Götze delivered me from the pain. I took the first sip - and it was great! Not just the whisky, but everything... In this moment I would have scored the whisky 100 points (or even more) regardless of what whisky is in the glass at all, of course! Nevertheless, this way I found out that after at least one hour in the open glass this dram significantly improves and shows a real complex and well balanced profile. Of course, no "oompf" in it at all (so all "oompf" lovers will score it rather low and this is absolutely okay as this is their taste preference) - but if you prefer a subtle yet rich dram try this little one hour experiment (and dream of your team will win the next final)...
Overall, the taste is a bit watery, which is probably the main reason for the criticism of this malt. Apart from that, that's a great malt.

Ardbeg vintage bottling 2014 - the WM-Whisky Auriverdes In 2014 this special and limited bottling was named Ardbeg Auriverdes. In keeping with the soccer World Cup in Brazil, which call gold and green their national colors, the name Auriverdes (auri = gold; verdes = green) fits perfectly into the concept. Ardbeg also uses these colors as their trademark and presents the Ardbeg Auriverdes in the distinctive green bottle with gold lettering. The typeface pays homage to the numbers on the back of earlier soccer jerseys. The Ardbeg Auriverdes is the perfect collector's bottle. But you should definitely taste the complex single malt whisky with 49.9% vol. Ardbeg Auriverdes with mocha and coffee nuances Dr. Bill Lumsden was once again able to live out his love of experimentation at Ardbeg Auriverdes. The regular barrel aging of the Ardbeg Auriverde in American second-fill white oak barrels was individualized by toasted barrel lids. It is not known how long the Ardbeg Auriverdes was stored in the barrels. What is certain, however, is that the toasted barrel lids left a lasting impression on the character of the Islay single malt whisky. The complexity of the Ardbeg Auriverde is unique. Tasting of the Ardbeg Auriverde with 49.9% vol. Colour: Gold-colored, between rye and amber colors. Nose: Naturally smoky with tar and herbal influences. Rounded off by fruits, wood and sugar cane, with a hint of mocha. Palate: At the beginning, the Auriverdes is sweet, with coffee. Rum, liquorice and a mild spice change into a smoky, ethereal sharpness with a hint of smoked ham. Departure: Persistent finish with vanilla and dry smoke. In the background there is a malty sweetness, the essential freshness is retained throughout.

A good whisky, no problem, but that does not revolutionize this distillery. Some of his little brothers are better and cheaper.
IMPORTANT: Leave it in the glass for a minimum of 20-30 minutes before drinking (better one hour), this whisky needs a lot of time to show its potential!

comment Brazil finally earned its many tears yesterday the football whisky Auriverdes was in my glass But he does not fit in with Brazil's helpfull one-time appeal the Auriverdes is a magician dark and dominant and at the same time a sweet gentleman nose its smell already tells you the story of the hideout in the moor which was scorched and still quietly consumed in front of him like a dark secret You do not want to be in the vortex of evil? he knows how to pull you You smell a hot iron pan Sugar melts to a viscous caramel mass and flows over ripe bananas He conjures you in his spell with such ease as our team shoots 7 goals against Brazil You also stop the opposition and let him do it the pungent smell of burned wood turns into forest soil and blueberries to sweetened strawberries in cold peat smoke mouth he lets you taste the evil burnt wood, smoky sharpness, You distrust how much you like the gloomy the more you like it, the sweeter it tastes you like a honey caramelized banana with smoked bacon, blueberries Woodruff, mint, Wick Medinait & Espresso memory in the end you are stunned did you dream ? no, you still feel the cold ashes smoke she turns into chocolate powder and a malty sweet shower it was very good You want a repeat I touched the sky

Head to head compared with the Ardbog and Uigeadeail. In comparison with the other two, it is noticeable that the ABV is lower. The sweet (Ardbog) combined with the 'bitter' bitterness (Uigeadeail), which is far less annoying here. More vanilla & banana in the nose. In terms of color, the lightest of the three. Least change with some water.

Well, I couldn't wait for the beginning of the World Cup either.Fortunately, I found the craitur to be spritely and in a festive mood.Though this is still a heavily phenolic and peaty beast that doesn't return to the earth after lift-off, the folks have managed to construct a somewhat focused and refreshing dram for the World Cup. It is a forward looking dram--win, lose or draw. This is one of the sunniest Ardbegs I've tasted, so the color is appropriate. To be revisted...

Finally at the Ardbeg embassy in Milan (thanks Mulligan's), finally 2 limited editions of Ardbeg to try (he has others, of course I'll be back): Auriverdes and Perpetuum, standard bottlings. Although the alcohol content is higher in Perpetuum, I start with this under the advice of the staff (thanks Beppe). No doubt about it: an excellent whisky, in every respect. The cask gave a docile but inviting character to the distillate, unfortunately they made friends for a "short" time. If there had been more time in the barrel, I don't dare imagine what it could have become.

| Нос | 88 | Immediately peat iodine and citrus typical of Ardbeg (yum!). Not at all aggressive, citrus persists, then barbecue sauce, chocolate and coffee. Inviting. |

Very high quality of the distillate. The peat never outclasses the flavors given by the barrel (it is one of the things that made me fall in love with this distillery). Enchanting. |

We are going deep into Whisky Lake 2.0 today, maybe all the way to the bottom in more than one way, so I best put on my atmospheric diving suit. The exact depth is 15 Ardbeg limited releases in one go, with a current 10yo (83 pts.) as the benchmark. Yes, I have written my last will and testament. The lineup from the newest to the oldest bottling is: Smokiverse (81), Spectacular (82), Heavy Vapours (77), Ardcore (76), Scorch (83), Blaaaack (81), Drum (79), Grooves (80), Kelpie (83), Dark Cove (84), Perpetuum (80), Auriverdes (83), Ardbog (87), Galileo (85), Alligator (88). Compared to my previous scores for the bottles I've already tasted, only Auriverdes felt a bit better this time than the first time I tried it many, many years ago. Unsurprisingly, both myself and the tasting panel voted Alligator, Ardbog, and Galileo as the best three. For me the bottom of the barrel was Ardcore with its offensive blandness and youth, but the whole tasting panel voted it the 2nd worst in the lineup, disliking Heavy Vapours even more. Thanks for the tasting, Maija & Pete! This Ardbeg + vanilla bottling is alright but much like when it was originally released, I'm not that impressed.

A decent Ardbeg at fine drinking strength. Perhaps a bit ‘as expected’ but certainly nothing wrong with that. Limoncello, vanilla milkshake, foam bananas, mocha, grease, bonfire, bacon, seaweed, salt.
COLOUR: shiny gold (without dye) - very good NAS single malt - definitely better than the TEN or PERPETUUM - but about 180 € also definitely too expensive - it's good, but not worth this price (to buy it drink)
Lime and greased bicycle chain, maritime and cold ash - a hint of ship diesel, as was so typical in the Ardbeg in the past - surprisingly creamy in the mouth

Scores less than the Ardbog so far, but in direct comparison I like them both just as much. The casks make a big difference though.

Not a real high flyer, but an accessible Ardbeg. Some rough edges, smells and tastes a little young.
Hello, right in the glass here my short notes: Color: yellow gold - unlike running rather thick legs Nose: ashtray of yesteryear, earthy, sweet, vanilla - not alcoholic Mouth: again cold ashes, becomes sweeter with time, oak - not alcoholic Finish: fresh tarred road, ashtray, bitter and dry - medium length With water: Uiuiui - with water he is much sweeter both in the nose and in the mouth, but he loses quickly to "force", interesting, does not swim well, but changes his face quite strong. Conclusion: Actually very tasty, but priced ambitious. Not the typical super smoker Ardbeg a la Supermofa, hardcore smokers will be rather disappointed, on the other hand Ardbeg proves that they can do it differently. I will probably not buy more, which is less to the taste than the price. In the end you drive with a Corryvreckan (for the Bourbon faction) or Uigeadail (for the sherry faction) depending on the preference of the PLV but pretty good if it's supposed to be an Ardbeg with a little more power. Overall without many rough edges, but dangerously good drinkable. Greetings, Jochen 87/100
The Auriverdes joins in my opinion well in the series of special bottlings of the last few years. Compared to the Ten, it is a bit more complex and also brings a few percent more.
Nose: sweet peat, coffee liqueur, citrus notes, light pepper and mineral notes - deep, but somewhat one-dimensional Taste: sweet barley, creamy, vanilla, coffee, the peat is late, but then is nice and strong Finish: long, peaty sweetness, subtle coffee notes Conclusion: a great malt, but the PLV is not 87 points
A quick note made on 30-05-2015 at Ardbeg Day Gentle, hearthy, tasty but no favorite. The cask ends are toasted in a very special way.
Maybe an extended TEN but in the overall package a disappointing Ardbeg - 08.09.2014
A good whisky, a little too sweet for my taste ...
First impression: toasty. That Alligator char but softer. Somehow more like a burned dinner rather than a bonfire. Greasiness, soft fattiness and some tropical fruit (not very bold). Can't say I'm a fan. Mouthfeel is watery. What's going on here? No intensity whatsoever, and water seems to kill it. Even the Laphroaig 10 @ 40% I compared this to has more presence in its body. Drying finish and vanilla-soap-tropical fruit cocktail. Bitterness and ashes too but faint. Not explicitly bad but not particularly special for a special edition.

Unfortunately the bottle is already empty. As you know it from Ardbeg, nice and smoky and of course maritime. I had it for a moment in the glass on the terrace in the summer, and then the nose was fantastic. Do you know the moment on the beach when you lift up a clump of seaweed, the fleas jump away and a cloud of sea rises? That describes the Auriverdes for me;)

The rich, peat-pronounced Ardbeg that I like. Complex and enjoyable. Recommend without water, it dilutes the noes.
нос · вкус · финиш
| Нос | 88 | Ashy peat, Slightly medicinal. Mixed nuts. A whiff of greens. Fresh citrus fruits slowly intensify. Very volatile. |
| Вкус | 89 | Heavily peated. Charcoal and ash tray. Bonfire. Juicy fruits drizzled with caramel. Fresh oak. More coastal as time goes by, kelp and sea salt. Iodine. With water: more bourbon cask came through, starting with vanilla fudge, then caramel, honey, charred oak. Grilled meat seasoned with salt. |
| Финиш | 88 | Long finish. Ashy with a mild touch of milk chocolate and malt lingering. |

Citric, herbs, caramel, and mostly vanilla. And vanilla does all the work. Quite sweet, creamy and smoky. Feels like drinking vanilla latte with iodine pills.

Compared to the other limited editions, you can tell this one isn't a newcomer.

Similar to the Ten, but a bit better, because more variety in the nose.

This was a feast! Nice to see that, despite all the PR BS and marketingstunts, the contents of the bottle is absolutely great. This is simply a fantastic, albeit modern (is there any other?), gold & green Ardbeg.

Very interesting, this one. And very comforting to drink. I’d describe it as lightly peated (by Ardbeg standards). It has a lot in common with Caol Ila, though it retains an oily, tarry Ardbeg signature rather than the light and delicate Caol Ila zing. In all honesty, I really like it. I’ve had a bottle open a few days now, and wasn’t sure at first, but it’s growing on me more every time I take a sip. The lack of punchy peat smoke really lets out the fruity side.
I do not understand why this Ardbeg is significantly worse rated than the standard range or Supernovas etc. For me this Ardbeg is very complex has a nice nose, taste and finish. A very well done whisky!
starts gentle in the nose, but nicley. peaty and citrus. the peat on the palate is massive. peat, smokey ashes, salty, Bacon, then some sweetness - not too much - citrus, some ginger, nice oak. very nice ardbeg which I liked much more than the Dark Cove I tasted some weeks ago.

| Вкус | 84 | peat and red pepper, salty and smoked pork meat with citrus fruits, some nutmeg and chocolate and actually a bit bitter dry. |
| Финиш | 85 | a bit like a smoked mackerel on the BBQ, with lemon slices, this with an earthy peaty herbs finish. |
A lot of peat, this reminded me of an Octomore.
