Introducing… the Committee’s most wanted

For over a quarter of a century, the famous Ardbeg Committee has sipped it, savoured it, and sworn by it - the iconic Ardbeg Ten Years Old. But the whisky on everybody’s lips? The very same… at Cask Strength.

The most talked-about release in the Distillery’s modern memory, finally bottled at your impassioned request. Drawn straight from American oak bourbon barrels, Ten’s revered peaty paradox is pronounced, with rich aromas of smoke and sea spray giving way to a smooth, natural sweetness.

Non-chill filtered at 61.7%.

Ten’s revered peaty paradox is pronounced

Rich, earthy, smoky and spicy, with a marvellous combination of toffee, tar and creosote, coffee grounds and sea spray. Subtle hints of vanilla and lime manage to fight their way through the smoke, and a few drops of water release some classic Ardbeggian scents, like fennel and bonfire embers.
The texture is mouth filling and noticeably spicy, and the palate is surprised by an immediate and intense sweetness, reminiscent of smoked cinnamon and paprika. This is then followed by enormous waves of smoky notes – soot, tar, creosote, peat moss and woodsmoke to name a few, but the smokiness is always balanced by a gentle malty/biscuity flavour.
The aftertaste is mentholic and almost cooling, with hints of eucalyptus and antiseptic lozenges.
