Bottle 55 of 186. Deep brown color with beige head. Aroma is mild peat, considerably less hardcore aroma than the Laphroaig one, good smoke and meat, very delicate. Taste is super balanced between the peat and the woodsmoke, juicy Franconian drinkability, some minerals, pretty dry but with some body. Almost champenoise carbonation. Very good!

Bottle 99 of 207. Beautiful brown color with ruby highlight and a beige head. Aroma is strong iodine, peat, meaty, intense but not overdone. Taste is iodine, peat, umami, but super balanced and drinkable. Dry finish, soft mouthfeel. Very well-done, I would not have expected this!

Bottle 202 of 206, Ardbeg Second Edition, shared at HopDog. Thanks, Gregor! Pours cloudy walnut brown. Aroma is chestnut caramel, oak; and a hint of smoke, also the whiskey comes through nicely. Taste is on the front sparkle sweet and bitter, then sour, deep moorish peat and charred ash tobacco, finally chalk and heat, toasted bread, melanoidin and butter caramel.

Bottle 202/206, huge thanks Gregor! Shared with him, Jonas and Ursula. Misty brownish body, off-white head. Bacon, buttery notes, smokey, some barrel. Tart, almost sour berry and pear taste, pears, fresh, a bit fruity, tasty but... Imperfect.

Bottle at HopDog, danke Gregor! Iodine, seaweed smoke, butter and cream nose. Milky brown, offwhite cream head. Salty, singed seaweed, tart roast, plenty of umami, sourness in the middle, intense but dry and easy enough to drink in the end. Quite a ride.

Tap at HopDog. Dark brown. Smell is lovely smoke, more intense than the normal one. Also malt and bacon. Taste is soft and beautifully balanced, very light. Veeeeery drinkable.

Optisch einwandfrei, in der Nase dezent Rauch. Im Trunk dann im Vergleich zum Schlenkerla recht zurückhaltend, kaum Rauch. Für Raucheinsteiger quasi.
