Tasting note

Nose: Pineapple slices and desiccated coconut rocket out of the glass followed by toffee and spice, finally there is a big phenolic launch-pad of peat. Palate: When the Ardbeg smoke clears the first step is salty, before cream and dried apricots land. Finish: The finish is soft and sweet, with earthy smoke swirling about. Overall: This is a fairly sweet Ardbeg and at 49 abv not there strongest offering.
