| TASTING NOTE: While the new whisky still presents with peat on the nose, the pale green-golden elixir is definitely softer on the palate, revealing notes of chocolate and toffee up front, which give way to hints of smoked tea leaves and a touch of that Ardbeg peatiness, interlaced with sweet undertones thanks to the inclusion of whiskies that have aged exclusively in those PX sherry casks. The flavors are fully integrated and delivered via a creamy mouthfeel. (Adam McDowell, robbreport.com, Sept. 8, 2017) |
