Ardbeg Scotch Single Malt 10 Year (750ml)

Aromas are elegantly restrained, offering notes of buttery pie crust and soup crackers. In the mouth flavors of sweet cereal grains are infused with vanilla that transforms into pungent smoky earth, tobacco leaf and roasted cacao bean. Layers of delicious complexity.For peat lovers only. Pale straw, briny nose. On the palate, this is like a time-release smoke capsule-after a flash of sweetness, the smoke just keeps rolling on in waves. Water adds some softness and mitigates the smoke a bit. Well-constructed and classic. Good value. - K.N.(Great Value,Tried & True Award)- Bright gold color. Reluctant bouquet is measured but potent early-on then with aeration it explodes in waves of sea salt, sea air, campfire. Flavor direction is all about the peat suddenly as the malt takes a back seat until the aftertaste when it reemerges with a bang.
