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.
Ardbeg 10 leaves a special lining in your pallet a long while. It's the only whiskey I crave and cannot find anything else as enjoyable.
While Laphroaig has been described as a "Big peaty punch in the face"; Ardbeg would best be likened to a deep smokey sensual kiss followed by passionate peat infused lovemaking . Heed the warnings though and do not over indulge in this pale vixen or you will suffer for it.
Very average Islay whisky. Too sweet for me, Kilchoman much better.
This is a great whisky, and at 46% you can add a splash of water to make it sing. Unapologetically peaty it's a dram to savour. Not for everyone, but worth getting to know.
I like smokey and complexe flavoured whisky. At start, strong in your mouth, and with a prolonged finish. Its smokiness, roughness and sweet-salty flavor transport us to a scenario of hard working men, in rough windy conditions near the sea. Giving this whisky their souls.
