Comments: 

Whisky tasting note number 700! And it's a... well, not classic, but a famous one. Issued to commemorate the 2014 World Cup in Brazil (Auriverdes, gold and green, geddit?), it's overpriced of course. But it's really quite tasty, with lots of fruit and sweet honeyed smoke, and a hard, bitter edge underneath. Easy drinking Ardbeg!

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
