I don't know what to say, absolute perfection, noticeably Ardbeg character and yet driven to the top Olympus with a dream barrel on top of that and great sherry sweetness in exactly the right dosage.
Nose
Mmmmh, great sweetness with the Ardbeg formula, lots of coarse demerara sugar, resin, baked apple, cardamom, candied ginger, some roibo tea, autumn leaves, rough leather, great tobacco, saffron, candied walnut, oregano, fine white coffee
Taste
Manuka honey full of herbs, homemade ginger liqueur, saffron, truffle butter, roibo tea, raspberries and mushy strawberries, milk chocolate, fine incense stick smoke, oiled leather, a hint of myrrh, fine salami, cardamom, cumin, vetiver, a hint of carbonic acid, walnut and a baked apple Even papaya
Finish
Cumin, myrrh, milk chocolate, ginger, saffron, camphor, forever long, malt, leather
