AMAZING. From the beggining to the end, this one was a dram i truly enjoyed. I have had the 2015 Supernova (the space experiment one) and that was incredible, but this one is even better. Marketing offered an abduction to your senses and i think they truly delivered it. Ardbeg Supernova 2019 was one of those NAS releases that are surrounded by certain skepticism by whisky lovers, and i have read some mixed reviews about it, but yesterday i had it, and it was one of the most powerful but balanced peated whiskies i have ever had. Bottled at 53.8%abv, amber color. On the nose, right from the first second you know something truly special has arrived to earth. Super fresh peat; chocolate, medicinal notes, bacon, super appealing. Recently done coffee, plastic, lemon, grapefruit, wet grass, a farm pond, tree sap. After a first sip, you get earthy peat, oranges, eucalyptus, cloth softener, humidity and floral notes. Crazy, interesting, intense and fabulous. The palate is very nice, sweet and spicy, with lots of character. Vanilla, grapefruit, pepper, lemon, lime, chocolate and butter. Aftertaste is out of this world. A great smoke note, one that i haven't felt in a long time on various peated whiskies i have had. Aromatic, peaty, smokey, perfectly salty, spanish ham, smoked ribs and a pepper bomb. Long lasting finish. Overall, everything is great and NO ALCOHOL NOTE WAS EVER PRESENT. For 53.8% this amount of aroma and tasting notes are incredibly well delivered, easy drinkable but powerful and flavorful. I have no points to deduct in any of the criterias of my scoring system, therefore this one is a 100 over 100 in my book. Sláinte Mhath!
