Ardbeg 10 Years Islay Single Malt Whisky 46%

Ardbeg 10 year is the epitome of classic Islay whisky. Intense, smoky and uncompromising – yet elegant and balanced. For many whisky lovers, this is the reference point when it comes to heavy peat smoke and maritime character. A truly iconic single malt from Islay, bottled at 46% and without chill filtration.

The whisky is aged for a minimum of 10 years in oak casks, giving it time to develop both complexity and rounded depth. Ardbeg is known for its distinctive smoke profile, but behind the heavy peat lies an impressive freshness and finesse that makes this 10 year old much more than just “smoke in a bottle”.

The higher alcohol strength of 46% gives extra intensity and structure to the flavor, while the absence of chill filtration preserves the natural oils and rich mouthfeel. The result is a whisky with edge, depth and character – a journey to Islay in every glass.

Flavor: Powerful and complex with smoked peat, lemon, green apples and sweet vanilla. The smoke is pronounced but balanced by freshness and a slight sweetness.
