Ardbeg 25 year old, 46%

The smoke is sweet, dry, and complex with aromas of sea spray, lemon peel oils, pine needles, herbal and celery notes, cream, egg-brushed pastries, and snuffed candle wicks. A silky textured dram with green herbal and woody notes, a lively burst of pepper, then it glides into chocolate, lemon bonbons, apple ice cream sundae, spiced toffee gingerbread, and moist coffee grounds. Peppery, mouth-coating finish of creamy lemon and medicinal notes.
