Ardbeg Dark Cove

Nose: Peat immediately after the pour which does settle significantly as it sits. Prominent charred oak, dried fruit, plums, apricot, nutmeg, dried tobacco, and seaweed.

Palate: Loads of very dry sherry without being overly sweet, salty on the front end, tobacco, fresh ground black pepper, hint of citrus. The finish has a very warm, with very long lingering malt flavors and hints of toasted pumpkin seeds thatwere previously lost in the more robust flavors of smoke and sherry.
