The Single Malt Ardbeg Ten is a true mainstay of this cult distillery for all fans of the great Scottish peat ales. The 10 year old is one of the few bottlings that has been around for decades, and comes from a selection of ex-Bourbon casks, both first-fill and refill. It is also the first Ardbeg whisky to be unfiltered. Overlooking an inlet in the village of Port Ellen on the mythical island of Islay, Ardbeg was founded in 1815, and is now operating at full capacity after a period of closure in the 1980s and 1990s.
The Single Malt Ardbeg Ten 10 Y.O. is probably the least impetuous in the Ardbeg range, making it ideal for those wishing to approach the world of peats. The nose is characterised by powerful peaty hints of smoke and iodine, followed by vanilla, citrus, cinnamon and cocoa. The palate is balanced and in full olfactory correspondence, with notes of peat, vanilla, barbecue, lime, black pepper and cinnamon. The finish is persistent and smoky, rich in citrus, roasted almonds and malt.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
