Ardbeg 10 Year Single Malt
Islay, Scotland
Tasting Notes: Ardbeg says it best themselves, revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex single malt of them all. In my opinion, the Ardbeg 10 year is the best example of a fantastic Islay scotch. Non-chill filtered aged in ex-bourbon casks give smoky dried fruit, green bell pepper, and intense peat on the nose. Accompanied first with peat, black pepper, and cinnamon-spiced toffee. Balanced with salinity and smooth buttermilk. Most notably, the smoke is persistent yet softly accentuates the softer notes to get cappuccino and toasted marshmallow notes. On the finish is dry espresso, and toasted nuts. An excellent entry into the world of Ardbeg's revered scotches. Pour your way and sip by the fire with spiced holiday treats this season!
