Peat ❤️

• smoked meat

• fresh berry

A straightforward smoky whisky with peat, smoke, vanilla, pepper and seaweed; young in character but still tasty and unmistakably Ardbeg.

A surprisingly well-balanced Ardbeg, combining red fruits, nuts, red wine and buttery barley with tar, peppermint and a pleasant bonfire finish.

Light and balanced while I attempt the Peated iOS app

Bursting with fruit and spice, perfectly balanced, and the best Irish whiskey the reviewer has had to date.

Laphroaig Cairdaes 2025

I bought this bottle about a week ago and it's almost gone. It never lasts. I think that sums up what I think of Lagavulin.

One of my faves

A complex, well-balanced dram with orange blossom, hay, and honey on the nose, a strong palate, and a sweet finish balanced by an alcohol bite.

• bourbon
• honey
• orange blossom
• sweet

Honey, vanilla, sweet pastry, fruit jam, and cinnamon evoke a classic afternoon tea, while the high proof adds warmth and depth without becoming overly sweet.

• apricot
• bourbon
• cereal
• cherry

For a 25 year, I'm left underwhelmed. I've tried to like this bottle over the years, trying it at different times, but it lacks complexity and is nothing…
