Nose: 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 and tropical) notes, along with fragrant candle wax.
Palate: An extremely vibrant, hot peppery mouthfeel leads into a burst of sherbet lemon sweetness (candied apples, pears and orange), hints of carbolic soap and tar, more creamy toffee, aniseed and chilli pepper.
Finish: A long, mellow, lingering aftertaste, with lots of cream, fudge and delicate antiseptic notes. An elegant, soothing style of Ardbeg.

Nose: Approachable waves of smoked cinder toffee and rich honey are balanced by fresh citrus, delicate lavender, and a savory hint of sea spray
Palate: A thick, oily texture carries flavors of creamy butterscotch and toasted oak that give way to tart tropical fruits like grilled pineapple and a sharp, spicy ginger
Finish: The long, smoldering fade features lingering earthy peat smoke, burnt sugar, and a touch of dry coconut that stays perfectly balanced.
