Торфяной островной виски в бочковой крепости (61,7%): солёный дым, зола, ваниль, цитрус. Опытные хвалят мощь и узнаваемый профиль, но считают крепким середняком без прорыва; остальные оценивают заметно выше.
развернуть подробно
В аромате — тёплый торфяной дым, копчёный бекол, зола и смола, морская солёность с йодом и водорослями, оттеняемые ванилью, цитрусовой цедрой, грейпфрутом и ананасом; спирт при высокой крепости интегрирован хорошо, резкости нет. Вкус мощный, маслянистый и одновременно сладковатый: жжёная карамель, лакрица, чёрный перец и гвоздика, соль и солёный арахис, дубовая пряность, у некоторых — паприка и перечная острота. Послевкусие долгое, дымно-зольное, смолистое, с сухим дубом и травами, хотя часть дегустаторов отмечает, что оно короче ожидаемого.
Опытные ревьюеры узнаваемый островной характер признают, но сходятся на оценках 85–88 и трактуют релиз как крепкий, добротный, но непрорывной виски: слышны сожаления, что первый десятилетний в бочковой крепости не стал шедевром, а зольность дыма и общая «сыровато-брутальная» манера при 61,7% нравятся не всем — один опытный автор прямо говорит, что образца ему достаточно, ставит 79 и указывает на более дешёвые альтернативы у независимых разливщиков. Менее авторитетные оценки в среднем выше (много 87–90), с акцентом на зрелость бурбоновой бочки, сладость с развитием и «мощный, убойный» характер; таким образом, разброс невелик, но опытные систематически строже, а восторги концентрируются в нижней части шкалы авторитетности.

A surprisingly beautiful aroma, just like cask whisky, powerful yet delicious! A solid winter drink! 22 21 22 22 87
Don't worry, Laphroaig, this is not competition for the ever-popular Laphroaig 10 CS, whose next batch has been eagerly awaited by many for quite some time now. Don't get me wrong: this is a very nice cask-strength Islay peat whisky that really gets a lot right. But hey, this is Ardbeg, and given some of the disastrous special bottlings of recent years, I somehow expected their first 10-year-old cask-strength whisky to be an absolute stunner. While it does miss out on a few nice Ardbeg aromas here and there, overall it's good, average Islay whisky, but nothing groundbreaking. Even though he has his qualities. What could have changed about the distillery's setup 10 or 15 years ago that makes it so obvious Ardbeg can no longer produce high-end products?
| Нос | 86 | Smoked bacon, warm peat smoke, smoldering herbs, lime zest – it definitely smells like Ardbeg, no complaints there. Despite its 61.7% ABV, there are absolutely no harsh alcoholic notes, no matter how deeply you inhale while nosing. Fresh, still-warm tar, pineapple and grapefruit, caramelized brown sugar, beet syrup. The smoke gradually turns ashy. |
| Вкус | 86 | It certainly has a powerful start, no question, but even neat there's nothing excessively harsh or alcoholic. Burnt caramel, licorice, bacon smoke, sea salt, black pepper, cloves. Dry oak, a freshly baked apricot cake, yeast dough, vanillin. |
| Финиш | 85 | Despite the lingering smoky, bacon-like notes, the finish isn't particularly long. A touch of fruit, dry oak, a hint of spice, and dried herbs. |
Light, straw color. Oily structure.
| Нос | 87 | Herbality. A pinch of spice. White pepper. Vanilla. Some fresh fruit. Citrus. Peat. Marine. Seaweed. On the second nose, additional smoke and ash. |
| Вкус | 88 | Peat. Earthiness. Spices. Black pepper. Ginger. Lots of spice. Seaweed. Fuller on the second sip, less spicy, a very strong punch of peat. Much better. |
| Финиш | 88 | Full-bodied and intense. Peat. Sea salt. Salted peanuts. Salted caramel. Seaweed on the second sip. Long finish. |

Crisp, fresh, delicious, only the smoke is 10 years old, the rest dances on the tongue and tastes like 20 - I'm usually not a fan, but this one is fucking sexy! Thanks @heiko
Proper whisky though.

Surely an experience, but also another reminder that when it comes to cask-strength Islay whisky in its teenage years, a sample suffices for me. It would take me ages to get through a whole bottle of this stuff, especially at this strength. Pretty sure I wouldn't be in the mood for this more than once or twice a month (at most, and only in autumn / winter). Also, you can get a similar experience for much cheaper from independent bottlers.
| Нос | 85 | It's been a while since I had the regular ten-year-old, but this, to me, seems like a different beast altogether. It's sweeter (the high ABV surely helps), more funky / estery and even slightly yeasty – at least when undiluted. With Water, it becomes more herbal (especially dried / roasted / burnt herbs come to mind) and floral. Thyme honey? Strong dung / cow patty vibes as well, but the "farminess" comes and goes. Certainly has enough depth to spend quite some time with it – though as always with unsherried young Ardbeg, I feel like you almost need to have a masochistic streak to really want to get deep into this stuff. |
| Вкус | 76 | Whoa, a lot of paprika powder and jalapeño pepper initially (the taste, not the heat), which was unexpected, but then the smoke takes over: burnt rubber, smoldering plastic, bonfires on the beach (yes: plural), smoked fish. An underlying honey-like sweetness throughout. Herbal honey of some kind. Insanely intense. However, I am not a fan of this raw, brute, boozy/spirity style. |
| Финиш | 77 | Tart, but with pockets of sweetness, and bucketloads of burnt herbs / vegetation. Very, very hot if you don’t water it down quite a bit. However, it becomes progressively more bitter when you add water. Long finish, obviously. An appropriately interminable, almost haunting aftermath that might get you into trouble with your closest and dearest. An extra point for intensity, but, again: I don’t find this particularly enjoyable. |
Robust, with Ardbeg peat and an earthy note. Really good. 81-85 – Wow, really good one

The nose is softer than the reduced version; the peat is less intense than usual, iodine mingles with a rather subtle vanilla, lemon zest, shovelfuls of salt and limestone, gravel, sleet. Conference plums and pears. On the palate, however, it's something else entirely: oily, silky, very delicate, yet with a beautiful power. Vanilla Turkish delight, lychee juice, almond oil, then it becomes herbaceous, reeds, chives, lots of pepper and cloves. A violent finish, but not as much as I expected: mint, asparagus, vanilla icing, cookie dough, a pinch of salt. White ash. While the nose is a touch subdued, it's very similar to the reduced version, but with a less explosive peatiness. The palate is then truly delicious and subtle, paving the way for a powerful yet not overpowering finish, where again, nuance prevails over sheer force. https://ilikesky2020.blogspot.com/2026/03/ardbeg-ten-cask-strength-committee.html

Excellent, powerful, killer Ardbeg! Unlike the modern ten, the barrels here are selected to be of a higher class - mature; there is no sourdough breadiness or Duchess Pie. The strength here only ennobles and emphasizes with depth the characteristic and mature notes of the bourbon barrel. I especially want to highlight the taste. With every minute of oxygenation, it becomes brighter, sweeter, and more interesting! Bravo! 22 23 22 22

Without a doubt a very welcome bottling - and better late than never! Overall, it's beautifully powerful and full-bodied. I'm pleased that it's also interesting enough to keep you occupied for quite a while. In terms of refinement, the current 10-series standard can't compete. My only complaint is the very ashy character of the smoke.
| Нос | 85 | Strong, maritime smoke with very dominant ash aromas. The alcohol is very well integrated. Vanilla, ashy smoke, sea breeze, smoldering wood, tar, seaweed, iodine, brine, grilled pineapple, brownish apples, licorice (salty), pronounced citrus notes, damp reeds, limestone, honey, cloves, cooked asparagus, oak spice. |
| Вкус | 87 | Powerful start, hot, creamy, full and sweet in the mouth. Vanilla, very maritime smoke. Fortunately, the ash is less pronounced on the palate. Also present are caramel, dried pineapple, brine, soot, iodine, stored apples, tarragon, cloves, mint, sweet licorice snails, malt notes, lemon balm, and oak spice. |
| Финиш | 87 | Medium to long finish. Smoke, ash, tar, dried seaweed, fleur de sel, citrus notes, vanilla, cloves, anise, peanuts, lemon balm, oak spice. |

Ardbeg is finally doing what whisky enthusiasts have always demanded: They're offering their Ten at cask strength. Laphroaig paved the way. However, this bottling is only available to members of the Ardbeg Committee. The price is expected to be around €85. The regular Ardbeg 10 can be had for less than half that price, and at 46% ABV, it's not bad either. The cask strength bottling has 61.7% ABV – that's a lot, meaning the whisky went into the cask at full strength. Its color is pale yellow, more like white wine. But then again, it's been matured in a bourbon barrel, so the color is fitting. glen-efze.de
