Ardbeg Scotch 10 Year Old Single Malt

Ardbeg distillery is known for their burly peat flavor, and is beloved by peat-heads around the world. Like other Islay whiskeys, the malted barley is dried in kilns using the traditional fuel of the Islands, peat logs, resulting in a strong smokey finish. Arbdeg’s spirit is distilled two and half times, thanks to an innovation on the neck of their stills, resulting in a sweeter base spirit that carries that peat smoke nicely. Most people will find the smoke dominates, but within the smoke you will also find wonderful vegetal notes, ferns and woodlands, and a hint of sea air. Basically, it tastes like the island of Islay in a bottle, without the sheep. It’s a classic for anyone willing to embrace bold flavors, crafted with great attention to quality.
