  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - A dear friend!

    By I_SPEY on 7th Mar 20102010-03-07T14:12:00

    Nose powerful - peat, salt and iodine, the smell is very balanced and warm. Citrus, floral notes and vanilla sweetness. Taste peaty, smoky, salty, slightly medicinal, spicy warmth with a tantalising hint… read more

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - Sleepy sips before turkey time

    By brett on 25th Nov 20092009-11-25T06:49:00

    Immediately peaty with a touch of smoke blooms into puckering and weaze. Reminder of Glenfiddich without the honey, drier, and peatier. Spiney on the tongue and a taste that rolls away before the feeling… read more

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - Man enough now! Part 1

    By Piero on 28th Oct 20092009-10-28T13:14:00

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - The perfect introduction to Islay malts...

    By jdcook on 16th Oct 20092009-10-16T12:12:00

    The nose is powerful - peat, salt, a little iodine and an underlying sweetness. I can leave it sitting on a coffee table more than a metre away, and within a minute, I get gentle wafts of the smell. … read more

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - Smokey Woody Peaty Fire

    By blrbwmn on 14th Sep 20092009-09-14T00:09:00

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - Enter The Peat

    By WhiskyApostle on 9th Jul 20092009-07-09T14:56:00

    Nose: Peat, leather, caramelized plums, brine and a hint of sweet bourbon (think Basil Hayden’s more than Maker’s Mark) Palate:Lightly peated compared to some other Islays, this whiskey lets the malted… read more
