An excellent late 90s single cask Ardbeg from Kingsbury, especially for the price of just 340£, which is much more affordable than any of the OB Ardbeg Single Cask from the 90s and the 2000s!
Nose
Very typical meaty Ardbeg smoke, but rather elegant and not as punchy as I expected from the ABV, slightly sweet & herbal
Body
Sweet, meaty, slightly spicy, very punchy & intense just the way I would expect an Aaaaaardbeg to be, gets salty & briny, again quite BBQ & a bit coal/industrial towards the end With water the bitterness appear, would not recommend
Finish
Long, sweet, slightly spicy and mouthcoating finish, the meaty smokiness lingers for a while
