Ardbeg 10 Year

It's got a great taste but still light. Smoky overtones but not a lot of deep flavors. Solid standby Scotch.

This has that classic peaty smoky flavor but it's contrasted against loads of fruitiness. Apples, bananas, pears. Tastes crisp and clean while having that smoky edginess. Very well balanced with its flavor profile and the proof is in such a great sweetspot. This is great to splash into other lesser whiskeys to give them a bit more depth. My bar always has a bottle of Ardbeg 10 year.

I bought this seven months ago. Finally I am able to share with my son for my Birthday. My first taste. Love Islay malts. Oily and salty - Yum! I love this.

I ordered this at a restaurant and it definitely lived up to the Islay fame. The lingering smoke & malty sweetness was amazing with the Vietnamese pork chop. I need to buy a bottle and taste it without a tasty meal to see how this really holds up to my other Islay favorites.
