Remarks:
beautiful balanced Ardbeg. Wonderful combination of smoke and sherry, the smoke is perfectly integrated.

Overall I rate this Whisky 89/100 points

  • Nose: 89/100 points
    subtle smoke, ashy, sherry aromas rather in the background, dark fruits, toffee, slightly spicy

  • Taste: 89/100 points
    Ash, subtle smoke, dried fruits, plums, spicy, slightly sweet, pleasant mouthfeel. Salivary

  • Finish: 89/100 points
    Again, nice subtle smoke combined with the sherry aromas, becoming spicy and slightly bitter
