Ardbeg 10 Year Old Cask Strength (2026 Release, ~61.7% ABV) is an intense,, distillate-forward Islay malt characterized by massive soot, bonfire smoke, and tar, balanced by lemon zest, sea spray, and creamy vanilla bourbon cask influence. It offers a thick, oily mouthfeel with high-proof heat, developing notes of smoked fish, candied citrus, and brine, finishing long and intensely dry.
