Ardbeg Fermutation 2007 13 year bourbon cask 49.4%

Nose: Pipe tobacco, coffee beans, big oak, raspberries, grapefruit peel

Palate: Dark chocolate covered raspberry, leather, nice mouthfeel, black tea with hints of cardamom. Great finish

Rating: 7 / 10 – long and nuanced palate. Super fun. First one of these recent releases that seem all marketing and no substance to deliver. About time.
