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.

Nose: A bright and vibrant start to this dram, there are notes of green apples, gorse bush, wine gums, and a mineral note.
Palate: The palate is well balanced with a touch of peat smoke, and sweet notes of icing sugar and white chocolate. Notes of tomato plant, sunflower seeds and linseed oil develop.
Finish: The finish brings notes of honey and gooseberries.
