The nose is heavenly, sweet with notes of peat and sugar, coffee and toffee, with a touch of cereal grain. The palate is very complex, with tons of beat and malted barley being gentle caressed by tones of ripe fruit and honey...it's sweet and smokey at the same time. The finish really long, with tons of peat and smoke being interwoven with espresso and caramel. This is truly a masterpiece in the whisky world, with tons of awards behind it including a Liquid Gold Award in 2014 from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible, a Silver medal in the Islay Single Malt No Age Statement Category at the 2014 World Whiskies Awards, and being the 2009 winner of the World Whisky of the Year Awared from Jim Murray's Whisky Bible. There are countless other awards out there stacking up for Ardbeg, but the best award goes to the drinker as one cracks open this fine bottle!
