Ardbeg reviews

First things first i can't guarantee that this is the correct cask number. Connosr has two in its bottle listings but im not exactly sure which one this was from.* Nose: tarry rope, black tea and diesel…

I love Islay malt, my love for them is almost unconditional, than why do I not like this peaty monster? I'm still not sure why and will surely try another dram of the 10 yo in the near future to make…
