Nose: Spicy and savory, with notes of Marmite, burnt toast, endive, charcoal and coffee. The herbaceous Ardbeg top note is very present, and is complemented by aromas of smoke and molasses.

Mouth: The spicy mouthfeel gives way to a host of rich, smoky flavors of cocoa powder, dark chocolate, caramelized peanuts and smoky lime, with a hint of soot and embers. Anise and malted cookie come to the fore.
