Overall: The nose on this one seemed promising but it just didn't fire on all cylinders for me. Scratching my head...perhaps revisit it again sometime.
Color: Light copper
Nose: Sugar and soot, toasted marshmallows, unusual fruit-apricot works, perhaps some cherry like cough medicine, Ardbeg cream and limes somewhat subtle initially, also almonds
Body: Appears full bodied, lighter mouth feel
Taste: Initially sweet with a rapid progression to smoky, industrial, greasy Ardbeg. Some salt and tar on the wane.
Finish: Shorter than I am used to from these folks, salt and tar predominantly, they are charging too much for this stuff.
