Nose

Intense and smoky: tar, bitumen, beach bonfires, drying seaweed. Mouth watering. A lean and dry young pup.

Palate

Bone-dry to start, the smoke parches the throat, saved by a light tickle of fruit.

Finish

Tarry and intense with glimmer of seaweed.

Comment

All of Ardbeg and some more. Uncompromising.
