Ardbeg 10 Year Islay Single Malt Scotch in a Nutshell

Ardbeg 10 Year isn't just another Islay malt; it's a benchmark for intensely peated craft spirits, uniquely balancing powerful smokiness with an underlying malty sweetness. This is achieved through the use of heavily peated malt (around 50-55 ppm phenol) and a longer fermentation process, creating a complex spirit that still allows the natural character of the barley to shine through.
