Finally finished my standard ardbeg bottle collection with this one. starts off with a saline presence, some dark fruit drizzled in mollases, chocolate and dark coffee grinds, then picking up on the bourbon char, oak, salted meat and a minerality similar to some mezcals. The finish is medium to long, bringing back the minerality, char and peat. A fantastic bottle from ardbeg and i can see why its so highly rated. Its not a sherry bomb but it has the perfect amount of sherry to interact accordingly with the peatiness.
