Words of Whisky (86)

For those willing to shell a few extra pounds/euros/dollars, this is a nice variation on what modern Ardbeg has to offer.
Nose
The peat smoke is subtle in this one, leaving room for plenty of other aromas. Well-rounded and somewhat creamy, with mushy banana, cinnamon apple, pineapple and apricots. Finally even some candy hearts, and a floral whiff.
Taste
Pretty creamy mouthfeel too. Somewhat more spicy (nutmeg, cinnamon, even a hit of ginger), and lots of dry smoke and ashes. It has a sugary sweetness though, alongside vanilla and lime.
Finish
Lingering salt and smoke and vanilla.
