The nose isn't all that strong actually, though some smoke stands out - not so much peat, but there is some. It doesn't smell particularly sweet, though it does have some light fruity scents and a little bit of light bitter herbal nose. The palate is rich and full, starting with smoke, peat, and fruit. The fruit is a little hard to place, but I think it tastes a lot like apricot - really, it seems distinct from the pineapple that they claim. It's sweet, but rounded and rich. This is much closer to the 2019 supernova in quality than to the 2015. The flavors all balance nicely and it's quite tasty. This is definitely comparable to the 2019 Supernova in quality, though it tastes more like the 2015, but with some beautiful fruity richness that makes it what it always should have been. I see where the chili in the description comes in a bit, adding some spiciness and harshness in a way that is not out of place. There's some dark chocolate that blends well with the chili. The spices are balanced, with a little bit of cinnamon, some black pepper, and moderated clove that brings in soft tannins. There may be some peat, but it skirts tasting like gross bread. This is a great whiskey by any standard. I sure hope it isn't one that breaks the bank because I'd like a bottle. The chocolatey finish is really nice. This is super nice to drink. I'll go ahead and call this my favorite ardbeg release. It's so good, but sadly the price is far too high.
