  • that's the problem with NAS, you can't help trying to guess the ages of these babies. Bah, all we can be sure of with an NAS is that it’s 3 years old.

  • The taste is thick and smoky with grilled fruits, a nice ashiness that’s balanced by honey, brown sugar, a touch of figs, and a hint of chocolate mint in the background. The finish is long, smoky, and mouth-watering.

  • It’s incredible stuff that deserves a lot of time and even more introspection — and which stands as one of Ardbeg’s best releases to date.

  • The aftertaste is limited to the usual suspects found in Ardbeg--meaty, seaweed-y, and most of all smoky which makes it seem as if you are a chimney exhaling your contents."

  • Ardbeg Perpetuum is complex, tasty and like it more than last year’s limited release the 2014 Supernova.

  • This is pretty good. Distinctive and fairly different from regular Ardbeg but I’m not sure I”d pay what they’re asking on this puppy. It’s unique but not life changing.
