This limited release from Ardbeg is named after the Kildalton Cross, one of the finest intact high crosses in Scotland, carved in the late 8th century. The nose reveals a classic Ardbeg profile with peat, fireplace amber, ash, medicinal and grassy notes, followed by sweet raisins. On the palate, the whisky has a soft mouthfeel, showing ashy and maritime notes, and some herbal accents. A solid, well-balanced Ardbeg, and very elegant overall.
