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 blows any other $50 bottle away. Lots of smoke and peat but smooth. Laphroaig is not even in the same class much more harsh. I tell people all the time nay JW is not for real scotch drinkers it for people who think they drink scotch. Arbeg is for scotch drinkers. Tried the more expensive ones above the 10 and did not like them as well. Quote from my friend who loves cigars and scotch, Ardbeg is his scotch and cigar in one when he cannot light up inside.
One of the best bangs for you buck when it comes to Islay scotches. Ranks up there with the more expensive Lagavulin
Overly powerful antiseptic finish.Only for those who really like the peat,classy but narrow in appeal I would think.
Okay, if you're not a fan of Islays, you're simply not going to like this. But this is, to my palate, a class above the pack.
if you wanna know the difference between a blended and a single malt.... start here. this is a stand alone revelatory Scotch that should make you realise why you shouldn't drink blendeds. it's an affordable favourite and is very distinctive, nearly unique!
