Nose
Tar-covered rope.
Palate
Tar-like. Medicinal. Seaweedy. Salty. Behind all of those dry flavours, a background of light, clean, fresh, maltiness and lemon skin fruitiness.
Finish
Sandy, peppery.
Comment
Not from a particularly peaty period, but packed with Ardbeg's other flavours. Wonderfully distinctive.

Nose
Astoundingly smoky, yet delicate with subtle tarry notes behind. With water the smoke dies a little and raisin and caramelised apple notes emerge.
Palate
An immediate waft of peat smoke. Full, robustly flavoured with turf and lapsang souchong tea.
Finish
Salty, long and filled with fragrant peat reek.
Comment
A punch in the chops from a stroppy Islay middleweight. Flavour-packed yet delicate.

Rennaissance Dram
It's more than ten years since Ardbeg ended a period of stop-start production and went back on stream properly. And as Dominic Roskrow reports, it's going from strength to strength.
