Ardbeg Ardcore

Nose: really unique here compared to other ardbegs, getting a prominet bitter dark chocolate a nice classic ardbeg peat, caramel, charcoal. Sea spray. Palate: really unique aggressive bitter malt here like stout malt notes. Balanced well with some backend chocolate and some salinity. Peatiness is subdued but there. Mild caramel, mild vanilla. Sweet smoke throughout. Finish: dry, ashy, oaky tannin, some lingering black malt bitter and chocolate.
