Ardbeg Ten Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky | NV | 750 ml.

WHA92 Whisky Advocate Fall, 2018

"Classic ‘southern shores’ Islay from the onset: salty and medicinal on the nose, with smoked haddock, citrus fruits, and milk chocolate. The palate yields full-on hot peat, pipe tobacco, black coffee, licorice, and more chocolate. The finish is long and malty, with sweet smoke. Non-chill filtered." (92 pts.)

WE91 Wine Enthusiast 12/31/2011

"For peat lovers only. Pale straw, briny nose. On the palate, this is like a time-release smoke capsule — after a flash of sweetness, the smoke just keeps rolling on in waves. Water adds some softness and mitigates the smoke a bit. Well-constructed and classic. Good value." (91 pts.)
