Tasting notes：

Nose: Sweet, lemon, typically Ardbeg, then sour, slightly chalky, some biscuit, fermented apple, grain, also some New Make, will probably still be quite young, overall quite fresh, rough, some grass, the lemon is quite evident, with Fancy some banana too
More intense with water, lemon and lime set the tone, for me now more like a Caol Ila than an Ardbeg, coffee is added.

Palate: Very oily, wow, sweet, chalky, creamy, slightly tart on the palate, oak, rather less smoke than in the nose, grapefruit, lemon, malty, green tart apple, less oily with water, but smoother, sweeter, somehow still intense, I also like it with water.

Finish: The sweetness flashes through every now and then, nut, apple, bitten, a hint of bitter, minimal ash, not too long, with water at the back it's bitter, lots of grapefruit, more ash, and also longer.
