Description

Ardbeg Guaranteed 10 Year Old is a highly revered Islay single malt Scotch whisky, celebrated for its intense peat smoke and complex character. Distilled on the south coast of Islay, it is crafted from heavily peated malted barley, with phenol levels typically around 50-56 ppm. The whisky is aged for 10 years primarily in ex-bourbon casks, including first-fill and refill barrels. It is bottled at 40% ABV and is non-chill filtered, preserving its rich texture and full flavor profile. This expression is known for its balance, where the powerful peat is complemented by a natural sweetness, making it a quintessential representation of Ardbeg's craftsmanship.
