Ardbeg Supernova SN 2014 70 cl. / 55 % Single Islay Malt Whisky Nose: Surprisingly floral, with fresh pine, sweet golden syrup and a slight touch of medicinal peat. It has a waft of youth about it, but not overpowering.

Palate: Smoky. An abundance of coal dust, more freshly sawn pine, a sweet candy floss note, some melted butter and white pepper. The youthfulness is there to see, but even at this strength, it is not total overkill on the palate. That said, it is a smoky whisky in the extreme.

Finish: A lingering dryness coats the tongue, with the dusty embers from a bonfire leaving their mark on the palate.
