    After the distillery being mothballed in 1983, this whisky here really shows what a long way they've come. This was my second Ardbeg after having had the privilege of tasting a 1993 single cask as my … read more

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - A lot of just one thing.

    Since this is one of the most reviewed whiskies around, I don't need any technical details to accompany this review, so I'll just jump right in. Nose: Smoke, citrus, salt and some wisps of vanilla. C… read more

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - Peaty Bang For The Buck

    By whiskyjourney on 10th Mar 20132013-03-10T21:29:00

    The Ardbeg 10 is an old friend that I have had a few bottles of over the years. It is one of those expressions that an Islay lover like me keeps around consistently in the cabinet. Partially because the… read more

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - BandAid finish

    By hongsman on 9th Mar 20132013-03-09T22:22:00

    Peat and more peat plus a little smoke and some sweetness on the nose. Neat palate is peat, some sweetness, and a bit medicinal. Finish is peat and a little sweetness, quickly dominated by BandAids. The… read more

    How can something be so good, yet so bad for you? Ardbeg 10 year old captures the true essence of whisky for you. Like many of the Ardbeg range, it gives you feelings of pure enjoyment in a tough palate… read more

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - Great, although not the best Islay

    When I first tasted Ardbeg 10 it was with great expectations. I'm a huge fan of Laphroaig and Caol Ila, with both hail from Islay, like Ardbeg. I was correct in assuming Ardbeg 10 would have a similar… read more

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - First among equals

    Ardbeg 10 is a much reviewed Whisky. I have no expectations on saying anything new or revolutionary. The nose is soft yet full, Smokey, salty sea spray with a whiff of burnt bacon. There is a lemon … read more

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - Chewing on Campfire!!

    After reading so many reviews, about how good this whisky is, I had to try it for myself. Upon opening the bottle strong smell of peat smacks my face and my wife's, who is 15ft away from me. She thought… read more

  • Ardbeg 10 Year old - Taste Comparison with Caol Ila 12

    By rigmorole on 29th Jan 20132013-01-29T04:37:00

    Caol Ila was more peppery and a bit more cantankerous in a good way. Quite a few similarities. Both drams had their own strengths. I must say that the creosote-like hints in Ardbeg were not ideal. … read more
