ARDBEG 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottle (70cl) 46%abv

Description

Unfairly seen as a ‘peat monster’, we consider Ardbeg, and in particular the 10 year old, to embody absolute perfection when it comes to Scottish single malts. Rightly held as one of the world’s 5 greatest malts, this is a crowd-pleaser which enthrals novices and experts alike.

Nose: Sweet peat, coal, Caramac bars, a faint floral soapy note, pepper and chilli.
Palate: Very soft, mellow entry, then the spices and peat come through in a big way.
Finish: Long and warming, with the smoke and pepper lasting longest.
