The Ardbeg (for easy to find drams not in this more esoteric series, I love Ardbeg Uigeadail, which is also really affordable) expressions are amazing

NOSE
Cigars, Armagnac, rancio and burnt fruit cake. Sticky toffee pudding, dried orange, cinnamon, dates and wood smoke. Honey-glazed smoked chicken breast. A warm, burnt sweetness on the nose with memories of Christmas on a stormy day.
PALATE
Super rich and fruity, powerful and not too dry. Oily and leathery. Lingering salted-caramel toffee and sweet smoke. Demerara Rum cake enjoyed with a glass of old Cognac and a mild cigar.
FINISH
Black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg. Hot toddy and rum-punch mix. An aftertaste recalling classic medicinal flavours.

More white-chocolate cookies, sweet caramel and orchard fruit (baked pears and apples) sit alongside an intense nuttiness with classic bonfire smoke and charcoal reminding us of this whisky’s origin.

Pecan pie and smoked almonds.
