Ardbeg An Oa
COLOR
A very light honey color like the brass on a brand new trumpet, lightly steeped tea, or Paul's hair in 1979.
NOSE
Sweet, aromatic, cream, leather, oak, citrus, vanilla, paint thinner and faint smoke. Not the peaty smoky blast one gets from Ardbeg 10.
FLAVOR
A nice tender foundation of peat and smoke overlaid with robust lemon, lime, orange, oil, butter, nuts, honey, and salt.
FINISH
A long, nicely choreographed finish with lemon, lime, oil, cream, honey, pepper and salt.
