Ardbeggy nose (which is a distinctly musty overtone, mainly) and clove. On the palate is a sweet explosion of -- of yum. Peat, clove hints, which are still in the background as it finishes. A-

Nose is comparatively light for a whisky of this type. Iodine. Palate of nice smoke and peat. Sweetness emerges in the finish. Smooth. B+

N: Peaty with cloves and eucalyptus. P: Briney with ferric notes F: Asphalt
Retast 2013: B
Grassy, black peppers and oolong tea. Nice oily texture with licorice and fudge. Sea salt finish. I didnt recall tasting this previously. But it was given the same grade.
Retaste 2015: B+
Big spice with warm plastic notes. Oily mouthfeel orange zest, smoke and ash
