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.

I have been enjoying malt Whisky for in excess of 50 years now. For some reason i have always been drawn to Islay. I am currently enjoying a 10 year old Ardbeg. First thing I noticed was the sweetness, quickly followed by smoke and peat. Very smooth as well. I recall D'Arcy Bussell travelling to Ardbeg to sample her Grandfather's favourite tipple. She was escorted by a lady from the distillery to a promontory overlooking the water. Her first sip following taking the nose, initiated a significant cough. Her guide quickly suggested a dash of water, but i think D'Arcy was still struggling, understandably, if you are not used to serious scotch. Her Grandad would have chuckled i suspect. I have sampled every Islay, and have never been disappointed. We here a lot about "bucket lists " currently, a trip to the island is certainly on mine, with a quick trip to Jura for good measure. Don't know if that constitutes a Freudian slip but i won't dwell on that.
Nice Islay dram... Pretty good dram for a hard day's night... As for me, it is better than Laphroaig 10 yo... Will definitely try 14 or 16 yo one soon...
I have been drinking 10years old Ardbeg for more than 30 years never had it so bad like this time I don't know what kind of whiskey it's but it's utterly awful whiskey and way too expensive for what u get will not buy Ardbeg again they have lost it or some bad cheating going on there . That was bad and would like to return if I could
A purchase on a whim, and what a wonderful choice. Ardbeg 10 is unapologetically Ardbeg. Smoke. The smoke works in harmony with the other elements in the glass. It is there from picking up the glass, but doesn't dominate the taste as the nose suggests. A delicate taste of a good, light dram exist behind the smoke - they co-exist. This is the point when many are put off. No. Just lift the glass slowly and try, the beautiful with not a bullying smoke. Highly recommend.
I’m a Great fan of Islay peated whisky so I thought I’d give this a try. Unfortunately it’s not as fine as I expected.
