Good lord. Bought this bottle a few months ago and waited until the guy who introduced me to whiskey was having a birthday and I popped it with him. Worth the wait!! Initial nose is all the Ardbeg. The cork smelled like every Ardbeg I’ve ever had. I like to think I could have picked it out without knowing but before buying this NOT CHEAP bottle I did my research. First taste is almost all citrus, particularly ORANGE, then burnt orange and then more fresh orange. Tons of orange. I’ve had a ton of great fruity scotch and I’ve had even more great peaty and Smokey scotch. The way they make this an amazing version of both is mind boggling. By the end I was nosing orange and no longer had much smoke but then it came back. This is an amazing whiskey. If I can convince my fiancée this is a good investment I’ll probably try to pick one up to hide in the closet for a few years. I look forward to coming back to this on special occasions. It is a very special whiskey
