icon_of_sin gave this whisky 89 points
Color
Yellow gold
Nose
Ztronenbonbonsueße. Deutlich weniger Rauch als der 10y. Karamell und Honig, sowie maritime Noten.
Taste
Angenehmer Rauch in Gleichgewicht mit der Citrussueße. Karamell.
Finish
Am Gaumen bleibt der Rauch hängen, auf der Zunge die Citrussueße. Angenehm wärmend.
Comments
Der etwas zahmere Ardbeg. Die Ecken und Kanten des 10y wurden abgerundet.

At first it took me some time to come around to the Peat side of scotch.
This version was highly recommended and since then, it has been harder
to come by. I have appreciated it now that I have learned that you need
to savor the flavor on this one for a good two three minutes to get the
full span. If you were to just pour and sip and drink down like it was
juice, you would lose so much of the work that went into this beauty,
enjoy if you can find it.

Remember it\'s maturity that makes whisky great! That\'s why I Love The Glenrothes!

Single dram note. From a miniature without bottlecode. Tried at the distillery in the `Now And Then` tasting:
N: weak-ish, earthy, caramel, lemon, light peat, vanilla,
P: light, coffee & milk, peat light
F: wood spices, vanilla, distant tropical fruits,

Remember - whisky scores and impressions are highly subjective and situational by nature - so don't go and buy whisky according to someone else's taste...

Color
Amber
Nose
Sweet malt and Vanilla in the nose only a hint of smoke and peat.
Taste
Sweet and soft to drink, vanilla honey and apples and even only a hint of smoke.
Finish
A middle long finish, nice, sweet with a hint of smoke.
Comments
Maybe you expected more "Islay" but this is how Ardbeg was in the past, with less smoke and peat.

Color
Deep gold
Nose
Die Nase ist eher schwach. Suess, leicht chlorig.
Taste
Der Geschmack ist nicht komplex. Suess, pfeffrig, bitter.
Finish
Der Abgang ist ueberraschend intensiv, aber kurz. Warm, leicht bitter.
Comments
Irgendwie entaeuschend für einen 17 jaehrigen. Mit mehr Vol % waere er sicher besser.

Lafroy gave this whisky 82 points
Color
Amber
Nose
Seems to be very delicate, sweet, unlike present Ardbeg. Hints of green tea, nuts, light sweet peat smoke. Seashells, a little bit of tobacco, ash and delicate medicinal, menthol notes.
Taste
Tastes like a sweet tea with cigarette inside, hints of smoke, sweetness, dryness, herbs, menthols, apples, citrus notes and another turn of sweetness.
Finish
Medium long, hints of tea, delicate, herbal notes, a little bit of saltiness.
