Ardbeg 10 Year Old Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a world-renowned peated whisky that captures the rugged spirit of Islay in every sip. Perfect for fans of bold, smoky flavours, this single malt is matured for 10 years in ex-bourbon barrels, allowing its rich character to fully develop.
This award-winning Islay Scotch whisky opens with an intense burst of peat smoke, balanced by layers of zesty citrus, dark chocolate, and espresso. Herbal notes of menthol and liquorice sweets give way to earthy undertones, creating a complex and satisfying dram.
Whether you are new to peated whisky or a seasoned connoisseur, Ardbeg 10 is often hailed as one of the best entry-level single malts for peat lovers. Its full-bodied flavour, oceanic minerality, and savoury aromas like smoked fish and crispy bacon make it a standout addition to any whisky collection.

Discover the legendary Ardbeg Distillery, established in 1815 with roots tracing back to 1794. Located on the rugged southern coast of Islay, Scotland, Ardbeg is celebrated worldwide for producing some of the peatiest and smokiest single malt Scotch whiskies on the market. Known for their bold and complex flavour profiles, Ardbeg whiskies are a staple for collectors and peat lovers alike.
In its early years, Ardbeg gained fame for its unique ‘fan-less’ on-site peat maltings, which delivered an exceptionally intense smoky character to the grain, an iconic hallmark of classic Islay peated whisky. Although production ceased in 1981, Ardbeg reopened in 1988 on a limited basis. Full production resumed in 1996 after the distillery was acquired by Glenmorangie, though the original maltings were no longer used.
Today, Ardbeg is owned by French luxury group LVMH and continues to produce award-winning, full-bodied Scotch whiskies that showcase the brand’s commitment to quality and tradition. Whether you are a long-time fan or new to the world of heavily peated Islay whiskies, Ardbeg offers a rich history and bold flavours that set it apart in the world of premium Scotch whisky.
