Ardbeg 10 YO Cask Strength Committee Exclusive 2026 61.7%

American Oak Bourbon
Ten Years Old
61.7%

Colour - Pale Gold

Nose - Rich, earthy, smoky, and spicy, with a marvellous
combination of toffee, tar, and creosote, coffee grounds,
and sea spray. Subtle hints of vanilla and lime manage
to break through the smoke, and a few drops of water
release some classic Ardbeg scents, such as fennel and
bonfire embers.

Palate - The texture is mouth-filling and noticeably spicy, and the
palate is surprised by an immediate and intense sweetness,
reminiscent of smoked cinnamon and paprika. This is then
followed by enormous waves of smoky notes – soot, tar,
creosote, peat moss, and woodsmoke to name a few,
but the smokiness is always balanced by a gentle
malty/biscuity flavour.
Finish - The aftertaste is mentholated and almost cooling,
with hints of eucalyptus and antiseptic lozenges.
