Nose

Dry, amazingly intense. Incredibly concentrated aromas: tarry rope, peat oil, lanolin, red herrings dangling from hooks in the smokehouse. Huge.

Palate

Sweet, concentrated, pent-up start. Then lime, lanolin, coal tar soap and all those weird aromas.

Finish

Bone dry.

Comment

For true believers only. The most intense, full-on Ardbeg I've ever come across.
