I bought this bottle because of my love of Ardbeg and Lagavulin Distillers Edition. What I got was sort of a blending of the two. The nose is salty and briny peat but much subdued for a typical Ardbeg. A hint of lemon with cocoa but not the dark sticky fruits I was expecting. On the pallet; cocoa, salt iodine, peat and char. There is also a vegetal pepper that reminds me of Port Charlotte 10. At the end of the bottle the whisky becomes more smooth but the salt doubles in fold. An interesting bottle from Ardbeg.
