Ardbeg Ten Year Old Single Malt , Islay

Ardbeg Ten Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Islay, Scotland – 46% ABV)

Ardbeg Ten is the benchmark of Islay peat: intensely smoky yet surprisingly balanced, with bright citrus and malt sweetness cutting through the maritime power. It’s the purest expression of Ardbeg’s house style—non‑chill filtered, uncompromising, and deeply aromatic.

Nose - Immediate peat smoke and sea spray, followed by lemon zest, vanilla pod, and smoked malt. Beneath the smoke lie fresh herbs, tar, and briny iodine, with a faint sweetness of toffee and green apple.

Palate - Rich and oily, bursting with peat, lemon, pepper, and smoked salmon. The smoke is bold but clean, supported by sweet malt, citrus peel, and a touch of espresso bitterness. The mouthfeel is thick and warming, revealing charred oak and mineral salt as it opens.

Finish - Long, dry, and smoky with ash, citrus, and malt sweetness lingering. A final echo of salted caramel and bonfire smoke leaves a crisp maritime aftertaste.
