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.
This is an extreme! The aroma keeps my girlfriend at arms length but the taste is wonderful. not for everyone but it is probably the smokiest whisky on the market. Leagues better than Laphriog!
This is like an epic awesome whiskey! I must have like been looking like forever before I found this one. It's like totally epic. I have tried like awesome numbers before I found this. What I totally don't like understand is why the place is like called Islay and not Island like the others. Still like this is an epic totally awesome drink. John - Boston Ma.
Bought because of high taste rating posted on sign. Tastes and smells exactly like the old Lysol antibacterial cleanser that has been discontinued for some years. Recalls memories of cleaning bathrooms. Not that there's anything wrong with that. . . .
I'm glad I went for the tester first as this isn't for me. Heavy smoke, medicinal finish that lasts. I wouldn't buy it but that's just my taste. Recommend a tester for this one.
Is Islay was a cake, this would be the slice with all the frosting. Stellar dram, balanced, with the right amount of peat. The best I can equate it to is eating peanut brittle at the beach on Islay next to a campfire at night. Oh, and it's foggy, definitely foggy. But this malt, right now, do eet!
