GSN’s Remarks: Heavy creosote nostril with an depth of smoked peat, harking back to a freshly lit cigar. There may be additionally an underlying sweetness from the malt which provides physique and heat. Flavorwise, the preliminary tasting leans candy and malty, with caramel and brickle and a slight port wine joviality. The haze of smokiness carries over on the tongue as nicely, giving it an expensive magnificence and refined perspective. It’s undoubtedly within the vein of traditional Ardbeg, however the port shines by way of right here, making this a welcome sideshow to the portfolio. GSN Ranking: A
