Strong smoke, most rocks, raw sugar, and a hint of brine on the nose. Followed by the same smoke on the taste which gives way to some sweetness, perhaps apples, only to then have the smoke reassert itself in a leathery West in the finish. Curiously seems to not have the cooked meat note that many Ardbeg expressions have. A solid dram all around. It's Ardbeg 10 but with the volume turned up a bit.
