The Ardbeg TEN Years Old Cask Strength Islay Single Malt Whisky represents a particularly uncompromising interpretation of the well-known classic and is aimed at lovers of powerful, unadulterated bottlings. Bottled at cask strength of 61.7%, this Islay single malt Scotch whisky is at its most intense and preserves the original character of Ardbeg Ten without reduction. Matured in hand-selected bourbon casks, this edition unfolds the typical arc of tension of distinctive peatiness, dense smokiness and a fine, surprising sweetness, which is often referred to as the peaty paradox at Ardbeg. As part of the Cask Strength series and a limited committee edition, this bottling fulfills a long-held wish of many connoisseurs for an even more direct, unfiltered version of the ten-year-old flagship.
The story behind this whisky is closely linked to the development of the Ardbeg Distillery, which has exerted a formative influence on the style of the island of Islay since its foundation in 1815. After a period of uncertainty in the 1980s and 1990s, the takeover by the Glenmorangie Company in 1997 marked a turning point for the distillery. Since then, Ardbeg has become an iconic name with a worldwide following. The Ardbeg TEN Years Old Cask Strength is the first committee bottling under co-chair Master Blender Gillian MacDonald and Distillery Manager Bryony McNiven and therefore also has a special significance within Ardbeg's history. The high alcohol strength, the clear cask selection and the unmistakable Islay style make this bottling an authentic expression of modern Ardbeg whisky art with deep roots in tradition.

Color: Light gold.
Nose: Rich earthy smoky and spicy with toffee tar creosote coffee grounds and sea spray complemented by vanilla and lime with the addition of water, fennel and embers from the campfire.
Taste: Full-bodied and spicy with intense sweetness reminiscent of smoked cinnamon and paprika followed by sooty smoke tar creosote peat and wood smoke balanced by malty biscuit-like notes.
Finish: Mentholated and almost cooling with hints of eucalyptus long lasting.
The Ardbeg TEN Years Old Cask Strength develops its strength particularly when enjoyed on its own in a quiet atmosphere, preferably with a little time in the glass or a drop of water to open it up individually. It harmonizes excellently with strong dishes such as grilled beef, lamb or slowly braised game, and accompanies spicy BBQ components and smoky aromas just as convincingly. An exciting combination is also created with mature hard cheese, intense blue cheese or dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, in which the Islay whisky at cask strength impressively demonstrates its depth and long-lasting character.
