What's in a name? Ardbeg Supernova 2009 (Stellar Release) whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America its name would be Ardbeg Supernova 2009 (Stellar Release) whiskey, instead of whisky.
Nose: Incredible aroma, top quality tequila, toffee, vanilla. Quite sweet, youthful. Peaty, but not what you'd expected. Floral, dry. Palate: Mescal, chili, smoked paprika, medicinal, huge peat. Very big fruit, sweet. Finish: Massive spices, peppercorns, charcoal, chili, nutmeg. Comment: Incredible!

Not Bad Ardbeg
Youthful, good peat, 1 dimensional. alright but give me corryvrecken anytime.
A great, complex whisky.
Having just tasted this blind, I was blown away by the complexity of this whisky and the length of the finish. If you like a peaty whisky then you can't go wrong with this one :-)
