yah! It's the wood that talks first in this one, which is pretty unusual with old Ardbegs. Starts on varnish, plain oak and pineapple liqueur, which is even more unusual! It's only after quite a while that Ardbeg's sootiness comes through - and beautifully so. Also a little tar, eucalyptus and seashells (oysters). To be honest, this isn't very complex whisky, it'll all happen on the palate - hopefully

ho-ho-ho, this is immensely medicinal and absolutely stunning. High concentration, loads of resinous and herbal flavours (spearmint, chlorophyl gums, marzipan, smoked lemon (and why not?), mint and chocolate (After Eight), eucalyptus drops, salmiak, lemon-flavoured fudge, clams, more mint, aniseed, dill, ginger and cloves (dentist's)...) Simply amazing. Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade!

long and wide yet fresh, herbal, mentholaded and kippery
