Nose

Rauch, etwas Asche, Vanille, leichte Frucht

Palate

Rauch, aber auch deutlich fruchtig, Vanille, ölig

Finish

Ingwer, Rauch, trocken

General description

Smells of Smoked Ham/bacon. Peppery and high proof.
It has that wonderful Ardbeg smoke and meat flavor. You definitely get the salty brinie taste but it is more balanced than the Wee Beastie. Less smoke than the Beastie. Still fantastic but a bit expensive.

General description

I normally don't like Islay whiskies but this is okay.

General description

I find myself reaching for this more often then not when pouring a drink. Initially, I was not a huge fan. The cask strength and resonable costs cannot be beat. i get a near perfect blend of peat smoke and sherry.

Дитя маркетинга. Я так понимаю, хвалебные отзывы связаны с первыми релизами из начала 00х. Виски 2018 г не впечатлил. Nas даст о себе знать ударом по носу, обожжет горло, особенно если вы попытаетесь разбавить этот виски водой в попытке вытянуть из него те самые высокие рейтинговые баллы и гарантирует слабое послевкусие. По стилю это усиленная кол ила 12. Но виски более сбит, напорист, проскакивает ягодно бисквитная тема. Нос - кисло- сладкие яблоки. Дым - печная гарь, торф. Кстати если хорошо разболтать торф появится уже в запахе. Медицины и моря нету. Для меня это непонятное направление виски, хотя и лучше торта с шашлыком от октоморов и порта шарлотты. Будет дополнено, так как бутылка только открыта.

General description

Really nice whisky but I don't find it so complex.
Really no any off note but also not a whisky I will have few bottles backup

Nose

Neat: Smoke barely noticeable, little bit aggressive needs some water
With water: More smoke sherry influence becoming visible, coconut

Palate

Neat: Simple but I like it soo much! Just extinguished pine tree fire, ash, intense
With water: some lemon, sweet, some salty notes, smoke

Finish

Just extinguished pine tree fire, oak, dry, sour, green tea

General description

A sweet smoky and savory dram that has a lovely texture.

Nose

sweet sherry, toffee caramel, dark chocolate, marzipan, caramelized onion

Palate

sherry to start, Frazzles, smoky bacon, sweet BBQ, dark chocolate, nutty

Finish

lots of smoke, heat, pepper, tannic,

General description

Full-bodied, distinctively peated and bittersweet with prolonged finishing. It's there to stay through the night. To be left at the end of the tasting, nothing to follow

Nose

Intense peat, with dark cherries, bitter chocolate and wood notes, sultanas and a remote echo of citrus; medicinal, salty sea breeze

Palate

Lovely, bitter and smokey, spicey on the arrival. The smoke expands and flourishes without becoming aggressive. More body than the 10 yrs. brother. Liquorice, citrus, raspberries, dry grass, hay.

Finish

Long and aromatic. Smoke inevitably lingers on as expected. Liquorice and citrus accompanying.

General description

Damn. This is a special whisky! Ardbeg 10yo turned up to 11! Sweet. Campfire peat. Spicy in a good way. The alcohol % is perfect.

Just the right amount of sherry influence, leather, sweet and sour, slight amount of well cooked bacon akin to Lagavulin and the only other whisky I’ve tried with this type of peat note. Rich. Luxurious. Oily. Unbelievably moreish

It’s arguable whether this whisky is objectively the best I have had, but as an Ardbeg fan, and someone who loves peated whisky, coupled with the perfect presentation, I think this is subjectively my favorite whisky right now. A must buy if you are a peat head

General description

Despite that tabaco finale, it stays a really nice smoky whisky.

General description

Nose: smoked bacon and medicinal
Pallet: full and rich and medicinal
Finish: peat and bbq

General description

wonderfully peary

General description

brine and peat smoke with a fruit sweetness on the nose, strawberry(?) and raisin followed by peat and bbq smoke and sauce. More going on than I can put a finger on. Delicious, may adjust score higher once I've had more whiskey - with a relatively small sample size I'm leaving room for others to score higher, but this is one I'll keep on hand.

klasyka od Ardbega

General description

very interesting and we'll balanced islay. unapologetically peaty, but doesn't hit you over the head with it like a Laphroaig. somewhat like a Lagavulin 16, with a bit more salt and a sweetness unique to the ardbeg. A wonderful whisky that definitely belongs on any peat lovers shelf. highly recommend.

Nose

peat and salt with a little bit of sweetness.

Palate

strong peat and salt. mild sherry sweetness.

Finish

slightly bitter, with a medium, warm oily finish.

General description

Earthy, peaty, sea and salt, wheat, vanilla, peppery. Same on taste but more oily, a bit burning alcohol, earthy-ryeish taste. Finish very long, grainy and wheaty, peat and smoke with sweetness mixed with pepper. Very complex.

General description

Smooth, medicinal with a long finish

General description

Salt lakris og røkte fiken, st. Hans bål og romjul! Fyldig med lang og fascinerende smak.

General description

Pepper and oil and spice. A little more refined than the Corey and not as in your face.

General description

Very savoury and nice! smoke is huge... fantastic. as if you are at the BBQ pit. sweet caramel is also present.

General description

Very campfire ashy smoke that I find typical of Ardbeg. noticeable sweetness from the sherry cask....honey and caramel...fruity on the palate after pushing through the smoke. Very nice!

General description

Tons of flavor, incredible peat and smoke balance

General description

It's good. But whooo boy is it smokey. Adding a few teaspoons of water really opens up the fruit flavor and makes it more palatable

General description

Nase: Sehr viel Rauch. Maritime Noten, Jod, dann Vanille.
Geschmack: Süße, Frucht, Vanille, dann Rauch im Abgang.

General description

Beautiful smoked flavor.

General description

Lovely! A terrific combination of sherry and smoke. Gently assertive (as opposed to Ardbeg 10 in-your-face style).

General description

smoky,spicy,sweet

General description

If you like smoky one this can be your favorite.
You can feel where is the uigeadail in your body :)
One of the best smoky one for sure, just 2.

General description

Smoky and medicinal just a hint of fruit

Nose

Upon opening for first time it is a very pleasant aroma the entices you

Palate

Did not expect the level of peat (to much) but after third sip leveled out

Finish

Sticks around - long finish

General description

Exactly as described: bacon, treacle, campfire, plus, I would add forest trees, on the nose, pallet, and finish, plus old leather shoes and wood varnish. Ice increases the sweetness (though, the level of sweetness straight was already good) and tree taste. It's straight-forward, smooth, tasty, and consistent. I prefer it as is.

General description

very Smokey, fruity

General description

Sehr Mild, relativ kleiner Aromenumfang.

General description

My first sip of this, I regretted purchasing it....but for some reason had to take another sip. Thats my entire relationship with this whisky (as well as most islays). I'm not in love but its extremely interesting that I have to keep going back. This one is peaty, smokey, sweet, and briny on the nose as well as the palate. I get notes of vanilla, unsweetened chocolate, brown sugar, leather, and tobacco, not every time and not all at once. Very interesting and very complex. Not in love but definitely keeps me coming back.

General description

Balanced but still complex whisky with close to perfect combination of peat and sweetness, less peated than expected if familiar with 10yo Ardbeg. Color also more towards amber than 10yo.

Nose

Great combination of peat, sweetness and raisin notes, many layers involved as more notes keep on appearing with brine, toffee, leather etc. Smokiness increases with water. I would say aroma is the best part of this whisky.

Palate

Peat appears first along with sweetness and spicyness. Very silky mouthfeel, the higher ABV is balanced by the peat and sweetness.

Finish

Quite long finish with raisin and smoke.

General description

Amazing whiskey! Peaty, briney, smokey, meaty, fruity, sweet and savory notes galore. Each sniff and taste reveal more layers and it’s ever changing, getting new combos of notes the longer it’s in the glass. The finish is long, satisfying and just as complex. Mind blown. Thank you Ardbeg.

General description

Smoke, peat, strong, sweet, little sherry, chocolate. Long finish. Excellent!

General description

smoke, peaty, fruit, warm, tobacco

General description

My whisky preferences are as persistent as they can get in their trying to push me away from objectivity, yet I once again try my best to find it. I’m not into sherry, anyway there are ones I enjoy, of course, if treated with or spotted them out of my curiosity.

Do you like AyeSLAY whisky? Let’s assume ‘yes’ is the answer. Now do you adore vanilla? If you do, go and love this malt. Meanwhile for me, it’s too much. There is not that much of peat as there is vanilla on the nose. It is quite expectedly accompanied by dried fruit, and it’s strong. Therefore, I got an impression of specifically prunes. And, of course, standard Ardeg’s peat. All of these aromas don’t intertwine between each other — they exist separately — instantly giving away its young age. Here, it would be better, if matured longer.

Taste confirms our age deduction: nothing round here — however, are we expecting that from a 54.2% strong non age-statement Islay whisky? I definitely don’t. Yes, it is phenolic — be welcomed to enjoy a destruction of your mouth sensors. There is just a hint of sweetness, which I was pleased with, as aroma made me preparing for something speysidely luscious.

The finish is strong but short: it neither burn you tongue for a long time nor it sticks with any particular flavour to your mouth. And I don’t think it’s bad.

From what I’ve tasted in Ardbeg Uigeadail sherry influenced islay whisky is like ballerinas dancing to metal. It may be fun, but if you are a lover of this specific genre. Excuse me, but I am appreciator of a good old ballet.

Nose

Excess of Vanilla, typical peat, quite strong prunes.

Palate

Phenolic, very sharp (unrounded), with a hint of sweetness.

Finish

Strong and short, without any particular taste staying in your mouth.

General description

Sweet at first then the smoke appears.

Nose

Very subtile

Palate

Sweetness, treacle, smoke, peat

Finish

More smoke appears

General description

Aroma: viel Lagerfeuerrauch, leicht fruchtig und süß, etwas Tabak, etwas Sherry und Gras

Geschmack: sehr rauchig, leicht süß, etwas Würze und Eiche, ölig

Abgang: viel Rauch, Malz, Eiche, kaum süß, leicht würzig

Fazit: Schönes Ding! Find ihn noch ne gute Schippe besser als den Ardbeg Ten. Richtig voll im Mund mit geilem Rauch und kommt mit super Abgang. Ist nicht der komplexeste aber ich liebe den geilen Rauch einfach :-)

General description

very thick, oily strong taste of smoke. The most thickest oily smoke and peated whisky which was made.

General description

Nothing but peat and smokiness

Finish

Burning

General description

Nie tak dymna, jak się spodziewałem, nie tak smolista, język wykręcająca. Ale wyśmienita. Finisz w beczkach po sherry powoduje, że odbieram ją w smaku jak mariaż Islay że Speyside. I nie wypada to źle. Znałazlem wiele skrajnych opinii o Uigeadail, ale warto samemu wyrobić sobie własną opinię. A moja jest na tak.

Nose

Peat, little smoke, but hidden behind rich fruit aroma, I find here plums, caramel. Drop of water brings more sweetness, dark fruits, berries in pie.

Palate

Smoked peat, dry red fruits (dry plums first, but there are other fruits definitely), honey, rasins. Mouthwater. There is some bacon as well.

Finish

Long, peated, very pleasant. Warming (influence of alc), but in a very good way. My wife feels ash in the end. I'm not, but we are tasteing together, so it's fair to note differences.

General description

Smokey, peaty and with a depth of sweetness. lovely stuff

General description

As soon as you pour it in the glass the peat smoke hits you in the face. Within a minute the intensity fades off and the malt shines through. For a higher ABV peated, it really is tame. The funky bandaid is not prevalent here. Sweet young malt, typical bourbon, and sherry notes come to the forefront after 10 minutes in the glass. The mouth feel is intense and coating. Moderate phynolics soak in with deep malty sweetness then fades to dry oaky smoke. There is a very slight briney seashore note. Aftertaste is earthy, smoky with a dry bourbon oak.

General description

N: sweet molasses, toffee, medium campfire smoke, salt

Nose

sweet molasses, toffee, medium campfire smoke, salt

Palate

sweet and fruity, medium body

Finish

smoky

General description

smoke, peat, sea spray. just a rich salty pungent elixir. favorite islay

General description

The gossip is true, this is a legendary whisky! Complex with several layers. Has the smoke of the Ten but has also 1-2 additional layers like savoury tones (tobacco leaves, cacao, nuts etc) and Berry sweetness.

Nose

Earthy smoke, but then fruity and Sherry sweetness. Malty. Espresso, cacao, fresh oak. Aromatic, complex whisky.

Palate

Sweet, spicy and then smoky. With few drops of water it opens up and you get this nice vanilla, fresh oak and malty body. Some heat due to the high ABV.

Finish

The nose and palate come through completely. Long, warm, several layers.

General description

Top smokey and peated, high alcohol percentage

General description

The best whisky ever. Not for starters.

Palate

a lot of peat, sweet, buttery, honey, tobacco, espresso, Sherry, mourh-filling foam, beech wood bacon smoke

Finish

smoked bacon, peaty, sweet (honey), dry

General description

Fiery and spicy, cinnamon on the top of the pallet, oil and ginger flavours at the centre. The peat and smoke are contained, providing earthy depth and a bitter bottom note. The after taste is long, warming. Exceptionally well-balanced, diverse and satisfying. A must-taste.

Nose

Complex, smoke and peat, hay, polish, nutmeg

Palate

Spicey, hot, cinnamon, ginger, oil, smoke and peat

Finish

Warm, flickering yet mellow. Very more-ish

General description

Si vous aimez le goût tourbé, ce Whisky est excellent!!! L’un des meilleurs dans son genre!

General description

charcoal smokiness, well balanced and perfectly peaty, a way better than Ten, even though I am personally fun of Laphroaig, I'll definitively buy this one again

General description

First nose quite sharp, suggests the use of water. However sweet and slightly peated, also in taste. With a warm long and slightly bitter finish. At the same time also a refreshing note before that. Water brings out the sweet first, followed by some salt and still alcohol.

General description

How longer open, they better the Taste. Mixed with little bit water. Its a explosion in the mouth.

General description

BBQ peat. Complex. But only for heavy peat lovers.

Nose

Peat. Smoke. Raisin. BBQ

Palate

Peat. Strong BBQ. subtle dark fruits. Malt. Smoke.

Finish

Oily. Smoke.

General description

I find it hard to distinct flavors behind the thick layer of peat smoke. not bad though every now and then

General description

Another great find at a local store... it's your typical ArdBerg, if you like peat and smoke... this is the one for you.

Nose

peat and smoke all day

Palate

sweet at first then turnd to instant smoke

Finish

smoldering smoke that lingers

General description

Heavyweight.

Nose

Lots of smoke, notes of bacon, some peat.

General description

Ein außergewöhnlicher Whisky in Fassstärke. Für Freunde der rauchigen Single Malt ein must-have. Eben ein typischer Islay...

General description

Was hoping to enjoy this more. it's a nice amount of peat, but something about it feels sharp and sour. not in a alcohol heat way, but it's a bit bitter. Smells wonderful though.

General description

raskasta savua ja turvetta. loppu kuiva, kevyesti makea.

General description

Starker Raucher, der trotzdem Süße und Frucht zeigt. Davon allerdings mehr in der Nase als im Mund. Im Geschmack kommen dann auch Holz, Würze stärker dazu.

Nose

Erst: viel Rauch. Dennoch viel Süße und Frucht. Evtl. Schokolade, Birne, leichte Gewürze

Palate

Nüsse, Wein, etwas Karamell. Rauch. Viel Speichelfluss, sehr angenehm, trotz Stärke, Holz.

Finish

Wird schnell schwächer an Aromen. Rauch bleibt länger. Evtl. Malz/Getreide.

General description

big smell, spicy warm and very smoky, flavorful but a bit burned. gently at the and.

General description

Tja, ganz einfach aber auch schwer zu beschreiben...
Ardbegtypische Süße und wunderbarer Torfrauch, der vom Sherryfass etwas im Zaun gehalten wird, bilden das Herzstück. Der Rauch hält sich herrlich lange und vermittelt Wohligkeitsgefühl! Die 54% sind perfekt für diesen Ardbeg!

General description

Nose: Sherry sweet smoke. Slight fruit pie? So inviting.
Mouth: So much softer than corry. More rounded by the sherry. Smoked meat with sweet bbq sauce. Salt and pepper.
Finish: Long and spicey, not as hot as corry. Delicious

General description

Nice peated...

General description

Full body, sweet, spicy & smoky. Not too overpowering. Very easy to drink

General description

Nose: intense, deep, and complex...
smoke, peat, cocoa, molasses toffee, citrus honey
Palate: full bodied and viscous, sweet, toffee, honey, roasted oranges, very peaty and smoky
Finish: long and complex, sweet and smoky, sea salt and vanilla caramel
Overall: 5 star scotch

Very smokey with much taste of wood Who I will guess is oak? A bit spicy and little tiny bit of sour. Nice overall and lovely of you want to make a smokey cocktail.

General description

Hugely smokey, but not medicinal. No burn from the high proof. While it starts with peat and fresh grass, both the nose and taste finish sweet and fruity. It's very unique, and worth the price.

General description

Complex, sweet, spice, smoke and a long finish. Very interesting and delicious whisky, but haven't decided if it's worth the retail price in Canada. Best with a little water.

A smokey initial punch, followed by sherry notes, which aren't overly sweet, rounding out with a lingering mild sweet taste.

General description

fruchtig im Mund mit feibem Rauch und einem unterschwelligen Alkoholgeschmack der sich im Mund unten sammelt und langsam aufsteigt

General description

peaty and smoky smell, with lots behind. herbal, bandaid, hospital smell, old wood and something difficult to catch. do you know how smell od wooden church? exactly like this.
taste is amazingly complex. sour and sweet, herbal notes woody and smoky like campfire smoke.
it is one of my favourite

General description

Wonderful dram. Nice smoke. Sweet notes. Nice long finish. Few drops of water makes the sweet notes come out. Surprised that at 54% ABV, the alcohol is not hard on the nose or on the palette. I will be stocking this whisky for sure.

General description

Sweet taste with plenty of peat and smoke aromas. More gentle than the 10 years, it's a lovely malt!

General description

Waves of woodsmoke racing past fruity aromas to wrstle in the nose, while some meaty salinity slips by. Rich dried fuits on the tongue on first approach, before immense smoke starts rushing in, which in turn fades away to long, numbing TCP on the tongue at the finish

General description

Top whisky. Needs water

Nose

Spirity and oaky. Needs a lot of time in the glass. Subtle sherry after time

Palate

Good balance of sweet and smokey. Sherry notes are subtle.

General description

very smokey and peaty, but very well rounded and well tasting!

General description

such a well rounded smokey/fruity baseball bat to the face

General description

Smoked meats/bacon. Stay away if you are not a fan of smoke/peat. Otherwise a fun dram.

Nose

Smoked ham/bacon. hints of maple and brine

Palate

Pronounced savoury smoke but relatively smooth conpared to other peated Islay. Friendly for a 54%ABV

Finish

Goes for a while.

General description

The most interesting whisky i've drunk so far. Peat and smoke aroma is strong but the taste is delicious, rounded (smooth?) if i can say that.

General description

This is really good. After purchasing a bottle, I immediately had to buy another. One of the most intense, and so full of flavour.

General description

Nose: orange, chocolate, fruit, smoke, vanilla
Body: vanilla, cask strength, toffee,
Finish: smoke, lengthy, lingering, warming

General description

amazing peat up front with smoke and raisins with honey and other dark fruits in the middle. long smoke and pepper finish

General description

balanced peat and sherry. not as smokey.

General description

sherry ,peat, smokey

General description

Solid Peaty Scotch with some Sherry influence.

Nose

smoke, iodine, salt, peat

Palate

smoke, vanilla, spice, coffee, oak

Finish

long, smooth very little alchohol bite

General description

The peat kicks in like a freight train ar first but smooths out quickly to a really pleasant finish. May not be for everyones taste but this dram packs a punch and takes you straight to the seaside with the palate.

General description

A touch of water really helps to bring the complexities to the surface, however muddled. I struggle with this whisky neat, much prefering the Corryvreckan.
Concentration and position play a large part in exploring the flavours. The sherries finish is present at the tip of the tongue very briefly. Subtle sweet elements show but the earthy smoke core is prominent throughout. An intriguing dram.

Nose

Dark cherries, sherry, peat, smoke, cinnamon, walnut, alcohol kick.

Palate

Fleeting sweet berries on the tip of the tongue. Malt. A hard to pin down complexity; barley, cinnamon, honey, cracked black pepper. Thick smoke and tar build into the finish.

Finish

A long smooth smoke, cracked pepper. Sweet trace.

General description

Best deal whisky, cause it delivers so much flavour and energy for really reasonable money. Wonderful dark juice.

Nose

Flavour bomb exploding in front of my nose. One of the most exciting whiskies!! Much smoke, but woodsmoke and only very few iodine. Polished leather and old diesel. Also much juice orange coming up.

Palate

Warm, oily, mouth filling. Dark sweetness and much smoke. Bacon, spices, sandalwood, BBQ sauce. Very wild.

Finish

Long, warming, smoky and a bit salty. Beautiful end of a wonderful dram.

General description

Great Ardbeg with tar, peat, seaweed, polish, sherry, sweetness, caramel. Oily on the tongue. However I prefer the Corryvreckan where I think the peat is more integrated. But that is criticism on a high level.

General description

very refreshing, super smooth for such a high proof scotch. would buy again.

General description

Nose

sweet at first, almost cognac-y, followed by peat, smoke and mineral and medicinal notes. adding water mellows it out, with the sweet tones more accentuated (vanilla and some chocolate)

Taste

The nose continues after a sweet arrival, and developing into more smoke and peat, with even minty touches and a bit of wood

Finish

long, very long even, with obviously smoke leading the way, with a final finish in dry notes with smoked nuts. Adding water twists up the finish in a weird way and disturbed the balance somewhat.

Comments

versatile, complex and powerful, with subtle nuances if you give it the time it takes to get passed the obvious peat and smoke. So much more than just a peatbomb. Even at a very respectable 54,2% ABV it doesn't really need water to shine like the star it is! 88/100

General description

A challenge to all the senses. Unbelievable!

General description

Ich mag gerne rauchige Whisky und Sherry gelagerte Whisky. Dieser Whisky vereint beides sehr harmonisch.
Ich hätte mir etwas mehr Rauch erwartet. Nach ein paar Mal riechen verschwindet der Rauch fast komplett und der Sherry kommt deutlich in den Vordergrund.
Im Mund ist der Rauch dann aber sofort wieder da. Trotz dem hohen Alkoholgehalt sehr angenehm zu trinken. Man muss kein Wasser verwenden, wenn man es trotzdem tut kommt die Fruchtigkeit vom Sherry immer weiter in den Vordergrund.
Dieser Whisky hat es damit momentan zu meinem Lieblingswhisky geschafft.

The first release of the Uigeadail was definitely one of the best drams I’ve ever tasted. It has gotten at bit less oily for every bottling they’ve done.. but still in my top 10.

Round, and full,outlaw in leather jacket,dark and strong character,must have on the shelf..with water open fruity notes but with still enough smoke and peatiness

General description

Strong peat and smoke, a little leathery bitterness and then some sweetness and dried red fruits

General description

Een uitbreiding van de 10 jaar op alle vlakken. Heerlijke lange afdronk

General description

A chocolate taste, with raisin and leather notes. A lot of peat, but not enough to overwhelm the palate.

General description

sweet, Smoky, peaty and full of tasty raisin notes. absolutely fantastic when gently warmed

General description

very well balanced between the sherried notes and the same strong meaty peat as the Corryvreckan.

Nose

clearly sherried, with notes of raising, but not too sweet. also leather and tobacco in there. ends with lilac

Palate

starts with the sherried raisin notes, before moving through rich malt, mushroom/leather funkiness, and even some orange bitterness.

Finish

very nice, coffee notes commingle with the same barbeque ribs notes I loved in the Corryvreckan

General description

Totally unique. Very peaty, but balanced: it's actually quite sweet with many floral flavours and a bit of spice. Not so smooth, but really dense and clingy, almost dry. Immense finish, like a smoking gun barrel. Definitely an acquired taste, this is one to try with a cleansed palate and fully savoured. If you're a fan of peat, you have to try it. I'm a big fan of Islay whiskies and this may be my favourite whisky of all.

Nose

Bonfire, sea mist, drying oak, pine.

Palate

12-gauge, fig, raisin, honey, salt

Finish

Clinging ash and embers. The peat stays longer than the dried fruit.

General description

really good, not great. nice peat but not as complex as I was expecting.

General description

Heerlijke whisky

General description

What a pleasant smell fills the room at bottle opening. A full medicinal smell with iodine, peat and red fruit.
Very sweet and very complex.
Mound is covered with herbal sweet oil with alcohol in the back.
The taste is a complex combination of herbs, fire, pepper, dried fruit, licorice and salt.
What a tremendous whisky this is.

90 points overall.

General description

Burst of peat with hints of chocolate and sherry,long sweet honey finish. A fantastic delight! One of my favorites. Another reason I have a spare bottle.

General description

Very peaty, bold, and smoky, the type of whisky that lovers of Islay long for. If not for the price, it might edge out Laphroaig as my favorite whisky.

General description

very peaty. great smoke. love it

General description

Quite wonderful Islay whisky. Strong taste of smoke and peat but smooth. With very long aftertaste.

General description

one of my all time favorites

General description

Lots of smoke and peat on the nose but still some sweetness of over-ripe bananas and christmas fruit cake. Very oily smooth entry in the mouth with lots of peatiness initially which then develops into coconut and steamed fish. Lingering pleasant flavourful finish! Amazing all throughout!
