This stunning expression from Islay's Ardbeg distillery on the Kildalton Coast is named after a nearby loch (pronounced "Oog-a-dal"). It's the perfect example of how sweet and savoury notes can work together spectacularly - you'll find Ardbeg's maritime salinity intact here, combined with dried fruit notes imparted by time spent in sherry casks. Kind of like when you mix sweet popcorn and salty popcorn together, it results in something absolutely wonderful.
Multifaceted, notes of peat and little flourishes of dark sugar, freshly ground espresso beans, cereal notes and a most sophisticated tar.
Led by sweet, ripe fruit and black forest honey. A good helping of malt. The throne then usurped by a powerful peat and smoked barley.
Very long, caramel and malt weave their way through peat smoke and dark sugar and just a hint of fresh espresso coffee before it finally peters out.
Such deft balance! How wonderful to sample Ardbeg so beautifully complimented by sherry.

Very smooth considering the ABV and completely. Starts out with a sweet woody taste on the front with a citrusy oil ( that I absolutely love) the back end finishes of with a deep cigar, leathery, peaty smokey treat that is smooth and stays on the tongue for a while. One if not my favorite whiskeys.
Delightful Lovely peat and smoky taste
A strong peaty whisky with a very nice deap flavour. More expensive than the 10yo but also much better
Very balanced whisky perfect amount of PPM notes of fresh fruit and that slight cherry cask. Ive been a laphroaig fan for a long time but this beats it by miles
whoa I thought I had peaty smoky Islay before and then a taste of this... potent. Nice. rich.
