Ardbeg 10 Cask Strength

Ardbeg Distillery, founded in 1815 on Islay’s southern coast, is one of Scotland’s most iconic peated whisky producers, celebrated for its intensely smoky yet surprisingly nuanced style. The distillery has earned a cult following worldwide and multiple accolades, including repeated recognition as a top-performing single malt at international spirits competitions. The 10 Year Old forms the backbone of the Ardbeg range, and this cask strength interpretation presents the whisky in its most natural and uncompromising form, bottled without dilution to showcase maximum flavour and texture.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Explosive peat smoke and sea spray lead, followed by lemon zest, vanilla, smoked meat, and cracked black pepper.

Palate: Powerful and oily, with layers of charred citrus, dark chocolate, malt sweetness, and earthy smoke balanced by spice and maritime salinity.

Finish: Long and intense, with lingering bonfire smoke, peppery spice, espresso, and a drying coastal edge.
