Description
This Ardbeg 10 Year Old “Guaranteed” from the 1980s reflects a style from an earlier period of the distillery, when the presentation was simpler and the focus rested very directly on the spirit. It shows the classic Islay character with firm peat smoke, maritime influence and a clear, driven structure, supported by natural sweetness and steady oak. The attraction lies in its period identity and the way it captures Ardbeg as it was then, with enough maturity to feel complete while still driven by youthful intensity.
