Ardbeg

Smoke, sea spray, and a punch of citrus that wakes up your whole palate, this Islay single malt doesn’t do subtle, and that’s exactly why it rules. You get peat like a campfire on the beach, plus flashes of lemon, black pepper, and dark cocoa that keep it interesting. Made on Islay, Scotland, it’s the kind of Scotch whisky that turns a casual sip into a full-blown obsession.
