Nose
Starts very chocolatey, with plums, with a slight acidity, there is a pleasant smoky smoke above it, unmistakable Ardbeg, slightly maritime, salty, the smoked bacon now turns into smoked trout, and sweet and creamy milk chocolate comes through again and again, a great combination, a little vanilla
Taste
In the beginning, the smoky smoke, then sherry, with nuts, raisins, some cinnamon, salt, creamy chocolate, a tornado of flavors, yes clearly cinnamon, the smoke is stronger here than in the nose, pleasant to drink despite the strength of the barrel
Finish
the smoke stays on the palate, the salt on the tip of the tongue, chocolate, still a hint of cinnamon that goes with the chocolate, then becomes drier on the palate, long-lasting and warming, beautiful
