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 a solid 4* whisky and has a great taste of the whisky from the distillation but, somehow, it lacks the flavours that would give it the complete taste. Had there been more taste given from the aging then I would have found an Islay whisky matching and maybe besting Laphroaig 10.
Ardbeg in a glass. This ones got it!
Tastes like getting kicked in the balls feels, but somehow I think I like it.
Very smooth with nice smokey after taste.
At first I was taken a bit aback by the peat and phenols but I agree with others keep trying it and you will like it. Something different every time. This would be great sipped out in the hills with friends.
