Has all the classic ardbeg notes, smoke from a fire thats going out, sweet peat, citrus. Lots of wood influence no doubt from the 19 years this spent in the barrel. Theres a mild but prevalent bitterness which im assuming is from the cask. Its a very good whisky but at $270-300 i was hoping for more. I liked the previous batch of this better. The finish goes on for days…i just wish it was an aftertaste i enjoyed. I’m getting mostly Bitter smoky tar. Which sounds worse than it is.
