What a nice nose, with these whiffs of peat and this nice fruity aromas. Even hidden behind some rubber smells, the hints of plum and apple are present indeed.
The first contact in the palate is quit amazing. A mix of acid freshness and chocolate notes give this whisky a very pleasant complexity. Despite the high level of alcohol, a nice and smooth impression characterises the mouth.
The finish is exceptionally long and smooth, marked by the chocolate memory of peated barley.
An excellent Ardbeg.
