When tasted, it has a viscous texture with a concentrated fruity sweetness reminiscent of sherry casks and good woody bitterness. The peat is strong and assertive, giving it a rich finish. Sherry-forward Islay malts are becoming less common these days, and from the back, you can also sense Ardbeg's house style. With this specification, it might be worth buying. #Ardbeg (ARDBEG)
