A phenomenal whisky packing powerful peaty deliciousness, Ardbeg 10 Year Old is a favourite of many whisky lovers around the world. Produced on the Kildalton Coast of Islay, this single malt matures for a decade before being bottled without any chill-filtration. If you're after a whisky full of coastal air, smoke and more, this is exactly what you want.
A ridge of vanilla leads to mountain of peat capped with citrus fruits and circled by clouds of sea spray.
Sweet vanilla counterbalanced with lemon and lime followed by that surging Ardbeg smoke that we all know and love.
Long and glorious; sea salted caramel and beach bonfire smoke.
Precise balance, big smoke and non-chill filtered. This is why this is such a famous dram.
Ardbeg is dead. This Whisky used to be my favorite Malt. Even the normal 10 yo old used to be complex with smoke, medicine and sweet notes. After a "whisky break" of 4 years i bought myself a bottle of this stuff. It is onedimensional and flat. Just smoke, bitter notes and alcohol strength. Im really very very dissapointed. Every other Islay i tasted recently is much better.
First rate, light in color witch I find unusual with an Isley.
A huge mouthful of moorland heather peat smoke. Wonderful if, like me, you love Islay malts. This is an epic dram but it is not delicate, and if you're not a fan of peat/iodine/smoke this won't be enjoyable. I have to confess I'd take a Lagavulin in preference.
Bitter taste.
I got a bottle from my wife and I love. The intense taste made me drink it with ice. The smell rests for a long time.
