Nose
As it warms, bonfires on the beach. Boats caulked with pitch. The tar-like Ardbeg trademark
Palate
Light-bodied but oily. Clings to the tongue. Lemony sweetness. Barbecue wood.
Finish
Clean coal-tar. Warming. Lingering.
Comment
Cleaner, more lemony and oily, and less assertive, than the 24 Years Old duty free edition.

Dave Broom

92
Nose
Complex and strangely delicate. Seashore aromas but also fruit. Tangerine, marmalade, cream.
Palate
Complex and mouth filling. A lovely soft start with that elegant fruit. The smoke builds in power as it moves through the mouth, drying as it goes.
Finish
Immense. Incredibly long. You'll taste it the next day.
Comment
A stunner.
