Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Huge peat and smoke, then oddly I get brownies (the dense kind with no frosting).
P: The sherry finish has added some meaty aspects on top of a first class old Ardbeg, very chewy stuff.
F: And the party continues.
This was a real treat.

Fuji

N: Preserved herring, coals, berries and cinnamon gum.

P: A classic ardbeg with a good amount of malt, light floral notes, and lots of darker notes of creosote, diesel and flynt

F: Sea salt and brine
