Nose
a lovely layer of vegetal peat. Ash. But all more subtle compared to modern Ardbegs. Lime and a hint of kiwi. Melons. Honey as well. Damped earth. Later also eucalyptus.
Palate
very tasty, but less fruity than the nose suggested. A subtle hint of peat again, some ash here too. A salty note, which is followed by some sweetness of honey. Liquorice and dark chocolate. But there's also a pinch of cinnamon and black pepper. Mint towards the end.
Finish
mid-long with quite some liquorice, a hint of peat and dark chocolate, melons again and it's a bit oaky.
