Ardbeg 10 Year Old

Thanks for including the batch number! I find it super helpful with Ardbeg reviews. Often the differences from batch to batch are surprising. Where are you? Some batches are designate to specific regions and countries.

Im from Norway, and this is a 1litre bottle if that matters. Also have a Uigeadail which i havent tasted yet, batch L13 079 on the uigeadail too.

Excellent, and welcome! And interesting information. I have an Uigeadail batch L13 058 (so about month before yours was bottled). I am surprised you have and Uigeadail and a 10yo from the exact same day. Would you mind checking to make sure? I am very interested to know the time mark (05:44). I know it does happen, but I am curious to know which came first on that day; the Uigeadail or the 10yo.

I have also heard that they can make up a batch, and the liquid can sit in the gigantic vat for a time. So it is possible that your Uigeadail mix on the 079 day of this year is the exact same thing I have from the 058th day of the year. I am going to try and have a review of it up soon.

Thx! Yep its the same day: L13 079 18:30 Btw im soon halfway through my bottle of Ardbeg Ten now, u recommend pouring it into smaller bottles? Still taste as good, but some whiskys get worse/better

Well, with a score of 84 my conclusion is you don't really love it. If you continue to leave it in the bottle once the level goes below halfway the peat will loose its power: things will "even out" a bit. You might consider it an improvement (you might not). I only pour into smaller bottles when I like the taste of the whisky and don't want it to oxidize any more.
