Big hit on the palate initially which is fab. Lots if smokiness wirh a burn. Leaves a nice briney after taste at the back of your mouth. I really like this whisky
-
Nose reminds me of burnt embers from a bonfire and the taste of smoky bacon. A shot of this and a packet of Frazzles and your night's a good un!
-
Personally, i loved it more than Laphroaigs quarter cask or even the 10yr. Id say its less smoky than lavagulin but i love how smooth this stuff is, and for the price... Its my new favorite
-
Not too bad for the price very smokey taste almost like the smell of smoke from a bonfire it’s a bit strong compared to others I have but very nice all the same and that embossed skull on the tin is amazing
-
Similar to lagavulin excellent
-
I got this as a birthday present, and was impressed with its flavor. Very much enjoyed it, even more so because it's not something I would have bought myself. The smokiness and peat are very present, definitely an Islay. It might could benefit from growing up a bit more. It has the smoothness of a precocious younger expression, but there really is not substitute for aging all the way. However, for the price, it's definitely a bargain buy, and well worth it.

Outstanding
-
It boasts strong peaty and smokey. Not as smokey or peaty or as strong as a Laphroaig Quarter cask. But as flavour goes, strong with a smooth finish, the toffee and sherry notes stand out nicely. Worth a buy, pairs excellent with a cigar or even 70% or higher dark chocolate.

Extremely well balanced. Awesome for the price. Love it.
-
Tried it in the Bacchus bar in Newcastle last night. Suits my palate perfectly. Will go out and buy a bottle. I wasn't aware at first it was from Islay but makes sense now as Bowmore and Ardbeg are already my favourite malts.
-
Very fine different for my old palate after years of whiskey drinking
-
It's amazing flavours especially the smoked aroma and the perfect taste makes for an excellent drink
-
So smokey and smooth. Brilliant to have as a different whiskey on the shelf at home and great with strong flavoured food.
-

I had been putting this purchase off for some time now as I have my normal ''go to whiskey''s'' that take priority when stock runs low. When this finally arrived I was very eager to try it.! I was slightly confused at first as there was not much in the way of peatiness'', I kept trying and trying but it gave just a mild taste with not much complexity and a very quick finish. My opinion is, this is actual expensive and for just a few quid more you can get a Laphroaig Quarter cask or a bit more than that you can get one of the best, ''Ardbeg 10''. Sorry but I will not be buying this in a rush again.

Canny wee smokey,,deffo from Ardbg
-
Sampled this in Jeffrey St Edinburgh, really nice and I was assured it is a 5yr Ardbeg Uigedal but without the sherry

Saw this, went out on a whim and got it. So for the price you''re getting what you pay for, it tastes like a watery ardbeg, i guess hence its where its from. rumored to be a 6yr old arbeg and it sure tastes like it Kind of disappointed, i expected more especially its bottled at 43%, but for the price its not too bad an ardbeg 10 costs almost double, so its a fair price. Overall its not too bad or undrinkable. Peaty and smoke style, a lot weaker than the bottling and name suggests, very watery body and medium finish. let me put it this way, For $40 i wouldn''t buy this again. I feel that this is worth $30 topend, I''d take a teachers highland cream for $25 over this
