Powerful stuff here. Very pleasent nose once it opens up a little. Classic Ardbeg peat with a hint of vanilla. Flavor is big and robust. Peat, smoke, spice, seaweed, vanilla, iodine. A little hot without a few drops of water and some time to breath, but this is yet another beautiful offering from Ardbeg. You really need to spend a little time with this one to get to know it. Highly recommended for any fan or Ardbeg.
