A delightful Ardbeg dram. The aromas start with the typical Ardbeg peat with some smoke, but quickly the elegant sweetness of wine cask, that from fortified red wines, comes into presence. The palate is complex with lots of nuts and roasted oak. Some vanilla complements the peat and smoke. Extremely smooth texture and oily too that cover your tongue thoroughly. The finish is roasted nuts and some fruity sweetness. Overall a really nice Ardbeg Feis Ile release that beat most the previous years’ ones.
