Ardbeg Ten

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 10 Year Old | 46% ABV (92 Proof) | 750mL

Ardbeg Ten is the signature expression from Ardbeg Distillery, showcasing the intensely smoky, complex character that has made the Islay producer renowned among single malt enthusiasts. Matured for 10 years, this heavily peated Scotch balances powerful smoke with citrus, vanilla, maritime character, peppery spice, and a subtle underlying sweetness.

🥃 Product Overview

Ardbeg Ten is crafted on the rugged southern coast of Islay, where the distillery produces a distinctly peated and maritime style of single malt. Ten years of maturation allows the whisky's intense smoke to integrate with layers of citrus, vanilla, malt, spice, and coastal minerality.

Bottled at 46% ABV (92 Proof) and non-chill filtered, Ardbeg Ten retains a rich texture and full-bodied flavor profile. Despite its reputation for powerful peat, the whisky reveals considerable complexity beneath the smoke, making it both a benchmark Islay malt and a defining expression of the Ardbeg house style.
