The nose is marked by a smooth mix of citrus notes, peat and smoke. An unusual freshness for an Ardbeg as there are even hints of cut grass.
In the palate, behind a clear watery impression, peat notes are quite present, but a clear lack at body is obvious, even if some beautiful fruity hints appear.
The finish is of average length, and peat dominates discretely some fruity hints.
Interesting bottle, but what a shame to have bottled it at 40%. This watery impression is present during the whole tasting.
