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.

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.

Distilled and filled into bourbon casks and then finished in calvados casks for two years. Being aged for two years in casks that previously held French cider has given this soft and honeyed single malt a certain certain magic has added a crunch, almost like an apple. Fresh crispness and sweetness of green apples together with candied fruit and citrus zest.

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

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