Tasting Notes

Nose

Pine resin, smoked bacon, fresh tar, vanilla pod, lime zest and a coastal brine that punches straight from the glass.

Palate

Aggressive peat smoke up front, then chocolate malt, cracked black pepper, charcoal, and a sweet creosote note that softens midway.

Finish

Long, drying, ashy and intensely smoky with lingering espresso bitterness and seashore salinity.

Expert Review

8.7/10

Five years old and snarling — Ardbeg unleashes its youngest core expression as a peat-smoke pup with claws.
