TASTING NOTES: on the nose - The luminous sweetness of tropical fruit green mango, melon, pineapple instantly shines. It then cedes to more temperate notes, the tingle of orange zest, the mist of a mandarin orange. The wine breathes, revealing its freshness The bloom after the rain. A tactile sensation of peony, jasmine and lilac.

on the palate - The wine immediately imposes its ample presence, full and massive. A sappy sensation dominates as the tactile is rapidly overtaken by the aromatic. The body unfolds generous, firm and controlled. Then it contracts, letting the wine vibrate with spices and pepper. The energy is sustained to a scintillating, saline finish.

The 2010 Harvest: With the lowest temperatures since 1996 the first part of the year contrasted with the entire decade. Winter frosts and a cool spring were reminders of the vineyard’s northerly latitude. The summer was hot, but not excessively so, and infrequent rain confirmed a particularly dry year.

Suddenly, in mid August, everything changed The equivalent of two months of rain fell in just two days With the heat and the water, maturation was fast and generous, but the harvest began with botrytis mold attacking the pinot noir grapes

As in 1995 the grapes had an elevated balance, at the same time sweet and acidic, but some parcels had to be left out and others sorted in order to bring out the best in a vintage rich in contrasts.

Dom Pérignon has a creative ambition, the quest for harmony as a source of emotion.

All creative processes have their constraints For Dom Pérignon it is the vintage.

An absolute commitment to bear witness to the harvest of a single year, whatever challenges it brings, even going as far as not declaring a vintage.

Time is fundamental in the Dom Pérignon equation The active maturation is the time spent in the bottle while on the lees in the darkness of the cellars. Each Dom Pérignon vintage slowly undergoes a metamorphosis, intensifying to achieve the three successive Plénitudes windows of expression that speak for themselves and reveal another aspect of the Dom Pérignon spirit.

After more than eight years of maturation in the cellars, Dom Pérignon Vintage becomes the First Plénitude that of harmony Everything is there, with great precision, in a highly accomplished balance which ensures a long lasting Dom Pérignon.

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010 was a bold wager, the fruit of an unwavering commitment to expressing nature, coupled with the freedom that makes audacious endeavors possible. Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010 is a wager that has been won thanks to inspiration and to the mastery that comes from experience. The passage of time has revealed the grandeur of this vintage of which Dom Pérignon is among the very few to bear witness.

Four Roses Single Barrel Reserve was released for the Japanese market in the early 1990s. This special release marked the first time a Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon was offered to the public. The origin of the name "Four Roses" has never been entirely clear, but legends abound. The most romantic one concerns Paul Jones Jr., who trademarked the Four Roses brand in 1888. The story goes that Paul fell head over heels in love with a Southern belle and named the brand for his courting gift - Four Roses.

While the year 2000 will be remembered by many for bootcut jeans, flip phones and the elusive millennium bug, it went down in Ardbeg history for very different reasons. 

Following decades of neglect, the Distillery had been saved from extinction by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997 and meticulously restored. As the clock ticked over from 1999 to 2000, Ardbeg was returning to full production. And while the rest of the world partied, with many distilleries shut down in fear of computerised chaos, its dedicated stillmen stayed up all night to keep the spirit flowing.  

Crafted with some of the very first spirit of the millennium, the inaugural edition in the Ardbeg Vintage Y2K series is unlike anything that came before. It was distilled in the historic still which served Ardbeg for 51 years, before being retired in 2001. And with an increased rigour applied to cask selection under the new ownership, the whisky was laid down in some of the finest bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks around. 

Committee Chair and Distillery Visitor Centre Manager Jackie Thomson said: “The turn of the millennium was a milestone for Ardbeg in so many ways – not least the formation of our Committee, the lifeblood of Ardbeg. With Y2K fashion and culture now back with a vengeance, we’re inviting Ardbeggians to turn back time to a remarkable year and enjoy the spirit of Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K.
