Comment:
What I love so much about Ardbeg 10 is it's strong and powerful notes that carry through from the nosing all the way into the finish. Smoked meat with sea salt and floral honey really show up for me. There are some slight Zitronenschale and Malz notes that accompany the floral honey as well as some Dunkle Schokolade and Leder notes that accent the smoked meat flavors. This is my desert island dram, and the rare cask strength bottling released to Japan is my white whale. 90/100
