Ardbeg 10 YR Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Very balanced and great example of islay, with rich peat, smoke, slight iodine, brine and seaweed. D&M Tasting Notes

"It is the earthiness of Ardbeg, its gusts of peat smoke, leafy bonfires and tar, that make it the most traditional of island whiskies." Michael Jackson.

Ardbeg was a famous hideout for smugglers who had to make themselves scarce to prevent their cache being discovered by the excise men in the late 18th century. The origins of Ardbeg date back to 1794 and the present distillery was established in 1815. In the late 1990s the distillery purchased and re-opened by Macdonald Muir, the parent company of Glenmorangie.
