Unfairly seen as a ‘peat monster’, we consider Ardbeg, and in particular the 10 year old, to embody absolute perfection when it comes to Scottish single malts. Rightly held as one of the world’s 5 greatest malts, this is a crowd-pleaser and enthrals experts as it does novices of both genders. Characterised by mellow notes of liquorice sticks, this universal single malt is offered in its “Libérez la Tourbe” [“Free the Peat”] case exclusively by La Maison du Whisky.
