There's more going on here than the Ardbeg 10, which is a very good peat monster. That Islay peat is still here in spades, but this one has a sweetness to it that makes it more complex and approachable at the same time. Noise is peaty with whiffs of grapes, apples and pears. First thing you'll notice on the palate is some high-proof heat and spiciness, along with that signature peat and notes of pears, butterscotch, citrus, even bread or cereal. Finish lasts a long time and is quite oily in the mouth, with both the peat and the fruity notes lingering. Highly recommended - its a fun twist on Islay peat beasts and the high proof is something more Scotch distillers should explore.
