Ardbeg Renaissance

Country: Scotland

Region: Islay

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 43%

Score: 89 Points

Peatier than the regular Ardbeg 10-year-old, this malt is well-balanced with subtle briny notes underneath the peat and just a hint of some heather. The peat lingers well into the finish, where the briny notes come out to play. I can’t wait to see what this spirit develops into as the years go on.
