🥃 Ardbeg 10-year Old 🥃 This is an incredible Single Malt Scotch! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 NOSE • It is fascinating how mild the nose is on this dram, considering what we are about to taste. You do get the smoke and peat on the nose but with a decent amount of fragrant flowers and citrus peels. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖 PALATE • There is also an amazing amount of phenols in Ardbeg which comes to life on your tongue. Lots of peat and that non-chill filtered oily feel, reacting immediately as you taste it. It gives a fresh radiating and tingling feel. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 FINISH • On the finish the smoke and peat is of course just as notable with a stage of leather and those floral notes you had on the nose, finished by an almost mint sensation like spruce shoots. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖 OVERALL • Yes, this is a really smoky and earthy Scotch, but it is so very well balanced and has a lot to offer it doesn't hold back anything else. I'd say this is smoke done right. If you like that, this is a must have on the shelf. One of the pillars of Islay peaty single malts. Instagram: Mr.LJWhisky
