Nose is magnificent right off the bat, kinda like a gentle Ardbeg with loads of smoky ashes on the beach. Really hits that medicinal, old cough syrup side I adore. Taste has this briny, oyster thing going on, with a peppery kick. Then comes the teak oil and model glue – not in a bad way! It's weirdly complex. A bit of lemon and grapefruit syrup comes through, almost lemongrass too. The finish is long, very smoky and ashy. There's even a hint of Dior J'adore in there, floral and soapy. Pure recent Ardbeg style. Love it. 😎

开瓶就飘出柠檬草和柠檬皮香，带点白葡萄酒的酸甜。喝的时候，柚子糖浆的甜味先到，接着是淡淡的烟灰，像海边篝火的余烬。中段有点老式止咳糖浆的草本味，收尾是柚木油和一缕花香，整体很柔和。😌

Well, poured a dram after work, and on the nose it's magnificent, really - like sniffing a bottle of Dior J'adore next to a pile of fresh ashes. There's that familiar gentle Ardbeg peat smoke, but mixed with this sweet grapefruit syrup and a whiff of model glue... odd but I like it! 😌 The taste is briny, like oysters and a boat deck oil, with a real kick of pepper and zest. Then comes this camphor balm medicinal side, and I swear a taste of vin blanc or white wine with lemon. Reminds me of ashes on a beach, with a little lemongrass and teak oil in the background. The finish is long and even more peppery. Pure recent Ardbeg style, like the best official 'Ten'. Old cough syrup notes linger too, but in a good way. It's complex, it's a proper Ardbeg I dig. I adore it! 🥃🔥
