Single Malt Whisky '10 Years' by Ardberg is distilled on the island of Islay, the southernmost of the Inner Hebrides, between Ireland and Scotland. Ardberg is said to use the island’s most peaty malted barley from Port Ellen and the water used is that of Lake Uigeadail. Long fermentation in washbacks made of Oregon pines, while aging takes place in ex-Bourbon oak barrels. Extraordinary complexity and aromatic richness, accompanied by a decidedly rich and very broad taste, strongly peaty, with aromas of citrus, coffee and licorice. The aftertaste is very persistent, smoky and savory. A great piece of Scotland in the glass.

Ardbeg
On the enchanting Isle of Islay, where the sea meets the land in a perpetual embrace buffeted by the winds, stands the legendary distillery Ardbeg. Known worldwide for producing peaty whisky of rare intensity, Ardbeg is a true icon for Scotch Whisky enthusiasts, a brand that encapsulates the essence of a unique territory and its centuries-old traditions.
Founded on this mystical island, Ardbeg stands out for its deep connection with the surrounding nature. The distillery overlooks a wild coastline, where the scent of the sea blends with that of the peat, an essential element that gives its whiskies the characteristic smoky and maritime flavor. It is here that the malted barley, kissed by the sea spray and the ocean breeze, is expertly crafted to create spirits with a distinctive and unmistakable character.
The mastery of Ardbeg is manifested in iconic labels such as Uigeadail and Ten. Uigeadail, named after the lake that provides the pure water used in distillation, presents a bouquet of smoke and spices, wrapped in a soft embrace of dried fruit and chocolate. The Ten, on the other hand, is a tribute to the purity of peat, a whisky that embodies the quintessence of Islay with its intense aromas and complex structure.
Ardbeg represents a sensory journey, an invitation to explore depths of flavors that tell stories of tradition and innovation, of sea and land.
