A strong, fruity-sweet smoky note, the lemon peel, red apples, melon water and a touch of strawberry jam in the nose. Very fresh and light, almost floating. Although intense, the smoky note is a pleasant companion to the fruit. Powerful start with smoked lemon slices, oranges, stalked wood, pepper and a good portion of chili. In fact, it is "spicy", without the sharpness is caused by any kind of alcohol note. Dry from the beginning. Aged, dried kelp, tar paper. Less ashy-cold smoke, as it is usually used at Ardbeg, it is more like a warm campfire with a rich peat content. Very nice interplay between the fruits on the one hand and the smoke as well as the sharpness / spice on the other side. Coffee beans, leather. Long and dry. Intense peat smoke, pepper, chilli powder, liquorice, strawberry jam, smoked lemon slices, toffee, latte.
