Ardbeg An Oa

Nose: Smoky seaweed salt Palate: Salty, smoky with double smoked bacon, briny, spiky rough and hot. Lots of bottom savoury notes Finish: Salt, salt and salt Comment: Bought a bottle of this. Much prefer the refined Corryvreckan.

Nose: a tiny bit more fruit and sweetness, a bit of cream, mixed with campfire smoke. Palate: chocolate, fruit, sherry earthiness. Peat and smoked ham. Finish: wood dryness, earthiness and phenols.

Nose: smoke, earthy, sweet, some fruity, floral notes, (winey) pungent spices, bit alcohol. Later on the floral notes disappear and fruity notes became full banana Palate: dust, smoked ham, friendly upfront, then pepper kicks in Finish: caramel sweetness, smoke, pepper, some bitterness, cheawy, salty, roasted nuts

I tried this one over a few rocks and althiuth there was prat, it was muted, more likely by the ice, but i was still able to get some saltiness and citrus, more lemon than orange on the palate. The finish was good, not ashy. Need to try it beed to see how it differs.

Pretty good but pretty strong, plenty of smoke
