I'm an Ardbeg fan. And this is A welcomed addition to their line up. At $40 this might be my favorite pour for the money. Nose- smoke, raisins, ash, pepper. sea, salt water, Sherry. Palate- very smooth. Sherry with extinguished bon fire smoke. Oily, smoked BBQ pork and pepper. Finish- medium, smoky and spicy. Don't think anything will beat this for the money. Very good and definitely recommend to anyone that enjoys peaty whisky.
