Ardbeg

Although it has long claimed to be Islay’s smokiest malt (a somewhat hard to prove title, now being challenged by Bruichladdich’s Octomore), Ardbeg can also realistically lay claim to be one of the island’s sweetest. It is this combination of rich sooty/tarry smoke with a citric sweet core which gives it its balance.
