Ardbeg 10 Year Old Whisky

I have drunk far more Ardbeg 10 than any other scotch. I love all of their range that I have been able to try, but this the staple and the foundation. It seems that many people have a whisky journey where they start with non-smoky brands, before eventually catching the peat bug. From that point it seems most people inevitably drift towards either Ardbeg, Laphroaig or Lagavulin as their favourite. There is no wrong answer as it is all subjective, but I never really "got" Laga compared to the other two. The line between Ardbeg and Laphroaig is much finer, but there is something unique about Ardbeg that just outshines Laphroaig for me.

I really like most of the Ardbeg offerings but I find that this one as well as one other really needs 'extra' flavour to help it along.
It may not be 'everyone's cup of tea' so to speak but it is my honest opinion that this dram is greatly improved by just a splash of Irn Bru to help it along.

Maybe I got a below average bottle, but after waiting to try this was disappointed, very bland and not anything great about it.

Masterpiece. Why shell out for Lagavulin 16 while this beauty is available!

as per the title, the most smoky dram I've tried (so far)
understand the love for this stuff and will definitely earned itself a regular place in my bar

A10 is one of the most consistent drams you can experience. This bottle has been just beautiful. I’m half way through and will obviously buy another and another

Great Scotch malt whisky at a fair price

I like it, but I feel it's over priced, should that affect the enjoyment of drinking it, well for me yes it does, so I rarely buy it these days. It is a good Islay malt, but I'd rather pay a bit more and have an Uigeadall.

This is beautiful. The template to be followed. All the flavour nuances swept by saline smoke and chocolate limes.

Excellent whisky well priced so you can drink it when you want a dram without thinking can I afford another. Smoky with lots of subtle flavours. Ardbeg never fails.
