Nose:Smoked cinnamon and paprika, antique leather and saddle soap, with classic Ardbeg scents of pine resin, tar and briny sea spray in the background. A distant hint of a fragrant bonfire and, finally, an unusual savoury note, like chili-seasoned meats.Palate:A powerfully salty mouthfeel moves to sweet treacle toffee, vanilla popcorn, salted fruits with soot and tar. More savoury notes of smoky BBQ, paprika and mustard spice, fading to smoked pears and apples, almost like pear cider.Finish:Smoked paprika and bonfires with a mellow sweetness throughout.
