Nose is pungent, smoky and sweet. The palate is pretty sweet (expected given the young age), bit spicy with the traditional ardbeg smoke. The finish is medium and salty with hints of caramel.

Great expression from caol ila. Something I can drink on a daily. The nose is rich, lightly sweet and overwhelming smoke. Palate is on the lighter side, a balanced peat with vanilla notes. The finish is long, oily and peaty.

Nose is sweet with notes of honey and some fruit. Palate is super smooth, sweet. There's a deep complexity that lasts through the finish, a bit leathery.

Nose is light, tiny hints of sweetness. Palate is oaky and very sweet. It becomes more sweet with a bit of water. Oaky in the finish as the sweetness tapers off.

Nose is very sweet with notes of vanilla and perhaps maple. The maple sweetness continues on as I drink. The overall palate is light and not very complex. The finish is pretty dry and leaves me with something to be desired.
