Aroma is all smoke, so heavy it's sharp. I can barely detect anything else. Flavor is a little much. It's less the fun peat and fire of ardbeg and more ashtray and charcoal. Body is fine, whiskey flavors are good , but the smoke is the wrong flavor. More ash than peat. I never thought I'd find an ardbeg too smoky for me but this flavor just isn't hitting.
