To be honest, it didn't surprise me. Even the Bulleit is not much inferior in taste characteristics. The first sip was promising with soft notes of vanilla, dried fruit and oak, however, as the bottle was going to be empty (approximately 2 weeks) the taste deteriorated exponentially. A similar drinking of the same Bulleit or Woodford did not change the taste so much, and their price is 2-3 times less. Bottom line - it's quite cool and cool to take somewhere in a bar, but not a whole bottle.

Prior to this, from peated whiskey I tasted Laphroaig Select, which is considered the entry level to this type of whiskey. From Ardbeg 10 I expected something powerfully peaty, but unexpectedly it turned out to be just as pleasant as the Laphroaig Select. Peat is revealed only in the aftertaste, and oaky fruity notes are the first to reveal, already turning into moderate peat towards the finish. The result is a very pleasant whiskey, I will take more.

It's a little bit disappointed me because 12 year brother was more pleasant for me. But anyway it's great rum. So, taste - very roasted coffee, dark chocolate, quite a lot of smoke, leather and notes of prunes. Aftertaste is burning and medium. My thought is the following - it would be better to make it of 40 ABV or even 37.5 ABV.
