Gal Granov (83)

Nose: There’s youthfulness in this whisky for sure. A certain Peary note and then we’re off to Islay for sure. Ash, soot and earthiness. Caramelized sugar. Vanilla and lemon. Black pepper and quite some alcohol bite. The odd cigar leaf too. Quite fresh and light for an Ardbeg.

Palate: starts smoky with ash and a bitter sooty backbone hiding the young notes of pear and apple peel. Chocolate , vanilla and double espresso. There’s also fresh ground peppers , chilly and ginger as well as leather and quite a lot of peat.

Finish: salty. Bitter espresso and crushed coffee beans. Smoke. Soot.
