Whisky Wednesday Reviews Ardbeg 10 Cask Strength, 61.7% – Scotch Whisky News
Ardbeg 10 Cask Strength, 61.7%.
It is finally here! The bottle we’ve all been waiting for, Ardbeg 10 Year Old Cask Strength!
A combination of refill ex-bourbon casks with some experimental casks filled with an unusually high strength spirit, this Islay colossal is finally starting to fix what has been wring with Ardbeg in the past few years for me. A tonic of sorts.
For too long, the labels were a little gimmick drive, the releases were undesirable (personally) and the prices were a little outrageous. Luckily, this bottle is a limited release, but has a price tag that is not unreasonable in the grand scheme of modern cask strength whisky releases.
A powerhouse of smoky, savoury and sweet, this is a bottle that does not disappoint in anyway, and with some of the big competition that has been creeping up in the last few years, this bottle does go to show that when they want to, Ardbeg can always hit it out of the park.
