Ardbeg 10 Year

On a crisp and cool fall day, College Football and Ardbeg 10 are perfect companions

89 Degustace co dokáže kouř, poslední vzorek po vicero kouřových whisek N: jemný kouř s rašelinou, záruveň sud, docela jemné, sladké tóny 22 T: kouř, kořenitost a pepř, jemná nasládlost 22 F: hezky dlouhý a kouřový, hezky se rozvíjí, alkohol schovaný 23 B: hezky vyrovnaná, kouřová, dlouhý dozvuk 22

Un poco menos de 4.25 le pondría porque no me llega a gustar tanto como el Talisker 10 años. Rico y con algo de gusto medicinal o herbal que es de las primeras veces que siento. Lleva abierta 3 meses la botella y sigo encontrando cosas diferentes. Me gustó mucho.

Nose: smoke, iodine, cream, lemon zest; it’s a lovely earthy smoke that has a sweet undertone Palate: smoke, vanilla, sweet malt, cream, earthy peat; I swear I get a smoked cream soda on this. Just delightful. Bite: 46% abv; Medium. Quite nice. Not too intense. The smokiness tempers it down a bit. Price: Less than $60. Amazing value for what you get. Easy decision to keep this one stocked up. Score: 8.5/10 - Weekend pour - Stock it! Final thoughts: There is a reason Ardbeg is so popular among the Islay heavyweights. The peat is very distinctive and the 10 is a great way to experience that. A good one to introduce beginners to peated scotch and I imagine even experienced people would appreciate a pour. I’ll definitely be buying another bottle sooner than later.

like most of the islay entries, this was nice. I enjoyed the smoke, and it was definitely a contender for instances when I can't get my hands on my laphroiag.
