Coral

Ardbeg 10 Year

Single Malt — Islay, Scotland

Reviewed December 21, 2020 (edited March 19, 2021)
4.5
4.5 out of 5 stars
This is a really good malt. I have waited for a while to get it, after reading about iodine, medicine, bandaid notes, I wasn’t sure if I will like it. I like mild peat over Smokey typically. Having said that, this did not disappoint. It’s super strong smoke and peat, more smoke than peat, but quite clean and they are buried in a bunch of fruity and sweet notes. These are not necessarily creamy, they are clean and fresh. It’s hard for me to pick up on the nuances of the sweet notes other than fruits like apples and pear, but they are very present and the taste is consistent. Taste is interesting, I think it’s quite fresh like fruit soda, crispy and clean, definitely sweet. The peat is carried over but it’s just intense enough without being like licking ash tray. It ends when you swallow. The sweet note follows you all the way. With time, the smoke is more present, and the grassy salty notes becomes more apparent. It’s an interesting malt that I will come back to for sure.
