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.
Huge amounts of smoke and fire in the belly. A great whiskey to go with a mild cigar. It is less refined then the OG Lagavulin 16 - Ardbeg is a bit of a brute. Flavors are immediately in your face, and powerful. But man - it is great. And so worth it as a “budget” smoky, peaty, dram.
smelled like charcoal and tasted like eating a piece of burnt dirt with the ending note of fire in the gut. burned in the mouth, in the throat, and in the stomach. flavors linger way to long --- id rather drink something that isnt painful
A proper salty Jack Tar of a dram. Very, very consistent
Powerful and complex, superbly balanced but I simply don't like drinking something that tastes like skin ointment - disgusting. I can imagine why people can admire it but I can't imagine why they derive pleasure from the taste. If you haven't tried peated whisky before then get a sample first not a full bottle.
If laphroaig is an ashtray, this guy is a smoke pit after a bbq festival. If your in for the smokey ride this bad boy will deliver. One of my favorites.
