Super earthy aroma, damp soil and moss. Smells green and alive. The ardbeg velvety richness hits right from the start, creamy and spreading the flavors all around. Heavy peat and spice, and then in between the initial hit and the tail that damp earthy tone hits for just a bit. The flavors are a journey, sweetness underneath the earth tones. The mix is a little discordant, but I still love it. Powerful, rich, weird. God I love ardbeg.The Barrel Thief

Smells positively heavenly. Sweet vanilla pudding and grain, rich and beautiful. Flavor doesn't live up to the aroma, but is still good. Cane sugar sweetness, super strong with medium thin body and short tail. As I drink it it improves, a touch more complexity, hint of spice. Well done, but I was admittedly a bit disappointed from how it smelled. If you're the DD want a whiskey just to sit and smell though, this is the one to buy.The Barrel Thief

Light wood and cereal aroma. I'm getting the same banana notes that Chivas regal mizunara gave me, I wonder if that's just what mizunara wood tastes like to me. Pretty creamy, light flavors but blended nicely. Sugar cane sweetness, pretty heavy vanilla, fairly long tail from the richness. Interesting and well blended, but that banana note will just never be for me.

Herbal peated aroma, interesting one that I can't at all place. Medicinal. Bright and mellow for a Laphroaig, same medicinal herb flavor that curves into green wood on the tail. Great body and richness, bright, and super enjoyable up until the very end of the tail. If not for that green finish it would be magnificent.The Barrel Thief
