Nose: smoked meat, ash, charcoal/soot, aromatic wood. Salt air, and a bit of peat come out the more you sip. A sweet woody vanilla also comes out a bit later as it sits. Palate: very rich and full, chocolate, ash, strong meatiness. Smoke is definitely here, but not as much the peaty side of it. Hints of the PX come through here with a tinge of sweetness. Aromatic wood is here too, almost a cedar note. Chili oil is mentioned by Ardbeg as a note and while not my initial impression, I can see it if I look for it. As it transitions to finish: char, and salinity mingle with a hint of citrus. Finish: ashy/sooty, lingering, drying, a bit of a burn at the back of the throat. Retrohale after you've let it sit in your throat for a minute is full of sooty/ashy smoke and charcoal.
