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 was sure someone would offer to kick my arse for spelling whisky as "whiskey". Sorry about that. Cant get enough of that Smokey flavour though. Love a good peated Scotch.
I'be only recently started drinking Scotch, but i've tried many types, most distinctly Lagavulin 16 year. In my opinion, this is my favorite so far. It's sweet, yet smoky at the same time, and doesnt leave a bad after taste like The Glenlivet.
After my first bottle of Ardbeg 10, it instantly became my favorite whiskey. I love the long lasting peaty taste on my tongue. I am no expert on single malts but I know what I like and now want to try more from Ardbeg. Simply superb
My first Islay and wow! Citrusy seawater and liquid smoke. Initially intimidating yet intriguing. The first dram is different and a little scary. Then you want more. Like sex!
Interesting Whisky.it is the smokiest I have tried but the smoke is almost like camouflage because once you get past it, this is a very mellow, somewhat sweet Whisky with a dominant vanilla taste and a soft sweetness. The Whisky has almost no color so aesthetically not the most appealing. Lagavulin 16, my favorite, is almost as smoky but has a more intense color and the taste is more complex. Only way I can describe it. Still, it is a very nice Whisky. Someone commented about drinking hoppy beers and having a conditioned palate for strong flavors. I understand. I too like very hoppy beers and the Islay whiskies seem to satisfy my craving for strong flavors the most. Balvenie is good too but almost as a dessert Whisky.
