Here it is, the legendary and mysterious Ardbeggeddon. Man, was I excited to taste this. And you know what? It's indeed mysterious in ways I didn't expect.
The nose is just a dank, earthy, peaty smoke. Kind of antiseptic and great -- and that completely attacks the palate and expands in a shockingly excellent way. Big medicinal stuff that's sort of minty and herbal, surprising and altogether bizarre yet wonderful.
The only thing that keeps me from going full "A" on this is that it's very dry, a tinge of sweetness would be welcome.
Though the PLOWED veterans joke that this may or may not be the actual cask they selected (mixups with matching casks to samples are not unheard of in such endeavors), it's regardless a choice completely fit for a group of obsessive malt aficionados. Different and, as I said, altogether bizarre yet wonderful, and Ardbeg. A-/A
