Description

The Ardbeg distillery, arguably the most famous of the famous Islay malts, was founded in 1815.

Best known for making some of the most heavily peated whisky in theworld, Ardbeg has experimented with many different types of maturation in its many years of producing malt whisky.

The brand has developed a massive cult following, organised into The Ardbeg Committee with a worldwide membership of over 110,000.

Ardbeg Ten Years Old is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex single malt of them all!

Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance.

Typically most whiskies are chill-filtered and reduced to a strength of 40% ABV.

Ardbeg Ten Years Old, however, is non chill-filtered and has a strength of 46% ABV, thus retaining maximum flavour, at the same time giving more body and added depth.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A ridge of vanilla leads to a mountain of peat capped with fresh citrus fruits and then rounded off with the aroma of sea spray.

Palate: Sweet vanilla is counterbalanced with citrus, lemon and lime followed by the surging Ardbeg smoke that we have all come to know and love.

Finish: Long and stunning; sea salted caramel and beach bonfire smoke complete the glorious finish.

Taste Test

More complex, citrus-led and sophisticated than recent bottlings, though the peat is no less but now simply displayed in an even greater elegance; a beautiful sea salt strain to this; gentle oils carry on them a lemon-lime edge, sweetened by barley and a weak solution of golden syrup; the peat is omnipotent, turning up in every crevice and wave, yet never one once overstepping it boundary; stunningly clean, the oak offers not a bitter trace but rather a vanilla and butterscotch edge to the barley. Again the smoke wafts around in a manner unique in the world of whisky when it comes to sheer elan and adroitness; like when you usually come across something that goes down to beautifully and with such a nimble touch and disarming allure, just close your eyes and enjoy....46%

A classic Islay dram. I really enjoy the light and smoky character this scotch has. Powerful flavours develop on the palate; salt, bold smoke, honey and tropical fruit notes. Lingering coastal notes and heavy peatiness on the finish. Definitely not for the faint-hearted, but a good place to start for anyone that enjoys heavily peated malts.
