2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Ardbeg Ten Years Old Islay Single Malt Whisky (Scotland), 46% abv, $63.00, 750 ml

95
Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

One of Islay’s classic malts, this whisky evokes ashes of a campfire on a stony beach. The maritime and smoke flavors may take the lead, but on further tasting hints of worn leather and preserved citrus add to the mix for a complete and complex dram.
