Ardbeg 10 Year


Single Malt
Purchase Price: $40
Place of Purchase: Warehouse - New York, NY
Rating: 8.3


Classic Islay, you know what you're getting when someone slides a glass of this straw-colored whisky in front of you. It’s rousing stuff with wispy tendrils of campfire smoke, pitchforks full of peat and a stiff briny breeze. It all falls together quite nicely. Perfect for autumn days, winter evenings and maybe even a chilly spring night, but I wouldn’t advise carrying a bottle of this around on a stifling hot June day at, say, the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. It’s just not meant for that.
