Producer's Tasting Notes
Nose: The undiluted nose is deep and rounded – chocolate caramels and barley sugar combine with dates, raisins and smooth sherry notes. Later, you find leather and linseed oil.
With water the sweetness gives way to malted honeycomb, with flowering currants emerging through the smoky sweetness of a well-fired fruit pudding.Taste: Sweet, chewy and oily with a silky mouthfeel. The flavour is initially sweet, revealing fruit cake and treacle. This is followed by barbecued or honey roast food with the slightest hint of olives.
Finish: Again long, both sweet and dry with honey, treacle and a trace of lint.

Great scotch. Never thought I would appreciate "smoke "!

Perfect. Oily, smoky, balanced, complex. Finish is long and satisfying. The best whisky you can get for the price.

-
Really very good. Smoky, peaty, slightly sweet - the flavours develop and take on different forms from the smell to the aftertaste.
-
MY FIRST TRY AND i AM SOLD. WHAT A GREAT FIRST TASTE AND THE AFTER TASTE IS LINGERING AND WONDERFUL......
-
If you can stand an Islay scotch that has any hint of sherry, then you may very well like this drink. I'll stick with Lagavulin.

My new favourite

Flavor explosion
-
Excellent whisky. Perfect in every respect -- lovely amber colour, great depth and taste.

Oh my word, this is a special whisky. The tasting notes above pretty much cover the specifics, but what impresses me the most is the sheer depth and complexity of each flavour, and the gradual order at which they come to you. Sitting with a glass of this is akin to reading a good book with your tongue; don't bother having any distractions other than perhaps a log fire or a nice view. The only whisky I've had which has surpassed this clocked in at four times the price. Sublime.

I enjoy Lagavulin 16 year, various Laphroaig and On occasion an Aberlour Malt This is the finest Scotch Whiskey for my palate Peaty. Smoky, a bit sweet...and smooth at near cask strength. I always drink this neat andthis is nectar of the peat bog gods .
-
Once I opened it, I could scent the smell of the London tube. So strong, so long. It needs to be nursed just a bit a time; it's a punch , but doesn't burn, and lasts so long. So easy to drink, so rewarding even in small amounts. Superb whisky. Great , great value for money
-
Best expression in the Ardbeg family...one of the best peaty whisky moments you can experience
-
Without a doubt, this is the best Islay whiskey ever made!
-
Sweet yet smokey with a marvelous earthy finish. Set up another and cheers!!

Bubbles when shaken are large and long lasting, indicative of the high ABV. Coatline was thin and legs ran thin and fast, indicating a young whisky. Appearance is light gold. Nose initially peaty and then honey and fruitcake almost Xmas cake. Didn't get any salt. Fruitcake becomes more apparent further down the glass. Palate was strongly peaty, but then fruity. Finish is very long and peaty with the fruitcake certainly present.. American oak, Jack Daniels ex bourbon, is the primary cask, but the assertiveness of European sherry casking( Olorosso?) comes through in the fruitiness. Conclusion - a lovely dessert type whisky. IMO the Ardbeg 10 year old is the peated to taste whisky to beat. UIGEADAIL is a nice occasional alternative, but certainly not a substitute for the ten.
