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 think it's an acquired taste. I loved the smoke, but my first sip repelled me, initially. I started blending 50/50 with Chivas and loved the result...this blend has become my go to scotch. I like it over ice....the flavor unfolds nicely, as I hold each sip in my mouth before swallowing. I do think there is some validity to the people who mentioned the headache. I'm a glutton for punishment, but I have found that I often awake with a headache and I'm not one who usually gets headaches from drinking.
Horrible, smell like tcp. I will not buy it again. Like burned tyre.
Gentle mini sips letting the warmth and flavours encircle your mouth then a heavenly slow trickle down your throat. The nectar of the Gods.
Nasty, smokey, smokey , burnt taste. You can have this scotch and any other Islay . I have no idea on what the fuss is all about with this brand. If scotch is an acquired taste, I'll never acquire a taste for this type of scotch.
There's something a bit wrong with this distillation. I don't know if they're rushing it and creating a poor quality alcohol but just a few glasses of this and I feel it in the middle of the night and the next day. Some bad alcohols getting drawn off when they should be chucked.
