Ardbeg 18 yo 1972/1991 (58.9%, Signatory, cask #3444, 275 bottles) 
Colour: pale gold. Nose: a tad sharper, more mineral and also peatier and less rounded. All sorts of smoke (wood, coal, peat), lots of lemon, pine resin, black pepper, oysters… Quite rougher than the Platinum but maybe also more demonstrative. Really a ‘peat monster’. Mouth: extremely powerful, punchy, peaty, peppery and lemony. Extraordinary zing. Fabulous mouth – and fabulous finish. No need to say more. 94 points.
