ARDBEG 10-YEAR-OLD ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

Ardbeg 10 Year Old is an iconic Islay single malt Scotch whisky, celebrated for its intense peat smoke, bold character, and perfectly balanced complexity. This whisky is crafted using heavily peated malted barley and aged for a full 10 years in American oak ex-bourbon casks, allowing it's signature smoky and citrusy notes to develop. Non-chill filtered to preserve its rich texture and deep flavours, Ardbeg 10 is a must-have for lovers of peaty Scotch.

Production & Ageing Process

Ardbeg sources its water from Loch Uigeadail, imparting a pure and distinctive quality to the whisky. The malted barley is dried using peat fires, resulting in its unmistakable smoky and earthy aroma. Aged for 10 years in first and second-fill ex-bourbon casks, this whisky develops layers of vanilla, spice, and citrus, while maintaining Ardbeg’s signature powerful smoke. The whisky is bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, ensuring a full-bodied mouthfeel and an unaltered depth of flavour.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bursting with intense peat smoke, fresh citrus, and vanilla, followed by hints of black pepper, sea spray, and charred oak.
• Palate: A bold explosion of smoke, lemon zest, and sweet malt, balanced by notes of toffee, black pepper, and crisp apple.
• Finish: Long and lingering with charred wood, smoky espresso, and a touch of anise, leaving a warming, peaty embrace.
