Ardbeg 10 is a much reviewed Whisky. I have no expectations on saying anything new or revolutionary.
The nose is soft yet full, Smokey, salty sea spray with a whiff of burnt bacon. There is a lemon undertone which is covered by a powerful peat aroma.
Your first taste brings strong Smoke, fruit, sweet spices with a smooth oily texture. This is a rich peaty punch with a sales caramel flavour. It has a long finish which leaves the tongue tingling and the mouth wanting more.
As an experience it is something you want to last. If you haven't tried it buy a bottle! Pound for pound this is a a serious contender. I can't think of anything for the same money that delivers such flavour, quality, complexity and class.
