Smoky bacon, grandfather’s old pipe tobacco, rain-wet concrete, soapy lemon. A lovely rounded mouthfeel and silky balance, peat as only Ardbeg can do peat!

Plenty of ripe pears, nectarines and peaches alongside a fair whack of cinnamon and nutmeg. The palate is all crystalised fruits – ginger, orange peel and cherry, with the odd one perhaps dipped in chocolate.
