Ardbeg 10

March 26, 2019

Happy Whiskey Wednesday friends, hope you're all enjoying the hump day. Today I'm drinking the scotch that stole my heart, and oddly enough, the first scotch I ever tasted; The classic, Arbeg 10 Single Malt. The 10's incredible smoke was something that took my breath away immediately after popping the cork on my first bottle, and the flavor profile did not disappoint whatsoever. The smokey, briny, meaty notes I pick up in it really takes me on a roller coaster, and I love every second of it. Since then, I've picked up Lapphroaig 10 and the Highland Park 12 Honour, and while I definitely do enjoy both, the Ardbeg still stands as the best night-topper I have in my cabinet, excluding the High West Bourye which in my opinion is fantastic.

As for the photo setup, I just got my old arrows stripped and re-fletched last week and they were ready for pick up today. Along with swapping out an old arrow rest for a more traditional off-the-shelf hair rest, I've been having a lot of fun today and have fired more arrows than I care to admit. For those who are interested, I'm shooting a PSE Blackhawk 45# at 20yds. Unlike my aim, the Ardbeg 10 hits the bullseye every damn time.

A note for readers at paydnaugustine.com
Hello viewers, thanks for checking out this part of the site. I just wanted to give a little insight here, basically I’ve made all these reviews specifically for friends in my social media circles, but ultimately thought it’s worthwhile to put my opinion out here in the wild, so if it seems like anything before this post is out of order, it’s likely because they are. My apologies, but everything that is posted after this will all be chronologically correct.

P.S.
There may be some images on the gallery page of this site that aren’t properly reviewed here; That’s because as I have to work pretty hard to get the photos done, I may have taken them long before I started making proper reviews or I may have just not had enough time to write a full statement on the bottle.
