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.
Been wanting to try this for a while after recommendations from whisky loving friends. Have to say I’m not a huge fan of Islay whiskies, but this is so good it’s impossible not to like. So smooth and supremely tasty.
Peaty, smoky, earthy and raw! Sea breeze, wet soil and grass (camping in nature next to the sea, a bone fire plus the smell of the first rain in autumn). Plus: a slight hint of fresh and barbecued meat, vanilla and liquorice root on the nose.
In the everyday drinking collection this is a goodie. Lovely peaty smoke with peppery sweetness. Great autumnal dram.
Tastes and smells like burning tyres. Besides this disaster of a flavor, goes down well and feels very smooth.
Smoke bomb, but a great dram! This is my favorite 10 year old from Islay. Nice campfire smoke, low peat medicinal note, which I prefer, and a subtle layer of vanilla, malt, and a bit of tropical pineapple, that I think for me is the same note as the lemon/lime/citrus that so many find hidden under the blanket of smoke. Great lingering finish. For the price, this is my go to smoky 10 year old single malt.
