I have discussed the importance of Blasda to me before in my notes on the Ardbeg distillery so I won't repeat them. The nose is peaty but not smokey, more earthy. There are also some sweet fruit notes, perhaps lemons and grapes. The taste is sweet and lemony at first and then peat and pepper build and linger for the finish. Perhaps not as complex or deep as other Ardbeg expressions, but still good.
