Day 5 of 12 Days of Whisk(e)y. Oh yeah... now we're talking. Ardbeg An Oa (46.6%, 93.2 Proof), I've been looking forward to this one. Aroma that makes you want to crawl in the bottle and take a nap, nice and peaty. Taste has the peat, but also some smoke and spice. Not as earthy as the Ardbeg 10 year, but it does have some good flavor going on.
A splash of water seems to highlight the spice aroma, while mellowing the taste a little. Happy to drink this on a chilly winter evening, 3.75/5.0 (I couldn't decide between 3.5 and 4.0 …)
