Nose: Coastal peat smoke, vanilla and tangy and bright citrus zest. Palate: Maritime peat, ripe orchard fruit, warm oak and a gentle, warm black pepper spice. Finish: Lingering peat with a subtle seaweed salinity.

This heavily-peated whisky from Torabhaig distillery was bottled at cask-strength and offers further insight into its distillery style. Aromas of smoked heather, blossom honey, barley sugars and salty sea air fill the nose, complemented by notes of vanilla ice cream, bonfire smoke, hot tar, oily brine and sweet spices throughout the palate.

Aroma : A pungent burst of smoked cream, peppermint and toffee, with Ardbeg’s classic fennel and pine resin. Distant earthy bonfires mix with herbal and fruity (banana & tropical) notes, along with fragrant candle wax. Taste : An extremely vibrant, hot peppery mouthfeel, leads in to a burst of sherbet lemon sweetness (candied apples, pears & oranges), hints of carbolic soap and tar, more creamytoffee, aniseedand chilli pepper. Finish : A long, mellow, lingering aftertaste, with lots of cream, fudge and delicate antiseptic notes. An elegant, soothing style of Ardbeg.

Ultra smooth, barley sugar sweetness, gooseberry and crisp grape.

Full bodied malt, rich and smoothly mouth-filling texture, meaty with dry spices. Perfect harmony.
