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.
I've been sniffing at this bottle for the past week and I'm not getting much. I might be bad at this whole whisky thing. I'm just looking for 2-3 notes but I got nothing but peaty smokiness. Thank you.
Can't believe the very light colour . Heavy wood smoke and peaty . Lots of citrus notes which balance the flavour with the obvious sea salt , briney notes and finish is lingering . 46 ABV . Love it.
I don’t enjoy peaty whiskies as a rule, but this is a subtle flavoursome well rounded example; I’ve converted several pals on to this fine example, and it’s also a great buy. Blind fold I’d rate it in the £100/bottle bracket.
Far to intense with the smoke, like standing next to a BBQ. Sorry but not a lover of Smokey whisky’s and it was a gift, but it’s not for my tastes. I prefer a more delicate and subtle tones of The Dalmore 10.
Oh my.... Somehow I've been missing Ardbeg and don't really know why. But now I'm glad I got to enjoy it. Unbelievable taste, superior smoky scent and the aftertaste lingers long after! I totally understand why this whisky is praised over the world by fellow whisky fanatics. The best single malt I've ever had. Next to explore all the other whiskeys they have. Never a bad time or day to have Ardbeg!!
