Tasting Notes

Nose

Salt water and seaweed — smoke and sweet peat, vanilla, fresh berries, nuttiness, pear, black pepper, pine needles, honey-glazed ham, leather, coffee

Palate

Pepper and chilli spice — medicinal peat, sea salt, ash, caramel, vanilla, rich malted cereal, creamy and nutty, brown-sugar bacon, smoked salt, milk chocolate, well-integrated oak despite the youth

Finish

Treacle and sea spray — smoke, black pepper, umami, mouth-drying tar and camphor, the beast revealing its full character in the close

Expert Review

8/10

Ardbeg set out to make the rawest, smokiest expression possible — five years in ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry butts at 47.4% NCF. Salt water, seaweed, chilli spice, brown-sugar bacon, and smoked salt. A tongue-tingling beast for peat lovers. The youth is the point.
