Ardbeg 10 Year Scotch Whisky
Review
87
Light straw in color. Huge amounts of sweet/smoky peat aromas with herbal undertones. Light on the palate, with plenty of peat riding on that frame. I'm not a peat lover, but this appeals. The smokey peat fades into a light, short finish. This Scotch is aged in old Laphroaig barrels, so it picks up some of the Laphroaig earthiness. Tasted 3/29/2007.
Notes
"Ardbeg Ten Years Old is a very special bottling for the Ardbeg distillery as it is the first non-chill filtered whisky in the Ardbeg range. Chill filtering isn't a bad thing, in fact it created real consistency of product when the whisky industry was a little more `hap-hazard` than it is today." - From the manufacturer's website.
