Ardbeg Ten Years Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

Revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest and most complex single malt of them all, this expression is bottled non-chill filtered at 46% ABV rather than the 40% reduction most whiskies undergo, retaining maximum flavour with added body and depth. An intense burst of smoky fruit escapes immediately, peat infused with zesty lemon and lime wrapped in waxy dark chocolate, developing into an explosion of crackling peat with tangy citrus and sizzling cinnamon-spiced toffee, followed by waves of brine, smooth buttermilk and toasted marshmallows, closing on a long, smoky finish with tarry espresso, aniseed and toasted almonds that's earned this the reputation as the ultimate Islay benchmark.
