Ardbeg Black Mystery 2nd Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 10 Year Old

Colour

Deep coppery amber with mahogany undertones and a warm, sherry-dark glow.

Nose

Intense peat smoke and sea-brine rise from the glass, punctuated by iodine and a whisper of ash. Beneath, sherry-cask sweetness delivers dark fig and raisin, touched with cocoa and vanilla. Citrus zest glints through the smoke as rosemary and white pepper lend a herbal edge, finishing with a lacquered, maritime polish.

Palate

An oily, full-bodied palate of peat smoke—marine, medicinal and persistent—lifted by sherry sweetness. Dark fig, raisin and cocoa mingle with roasted coffee and a touch of vanilla, while sea spray and black pepper sharpen the profile. The finish is long, smoky and warming, leaving a velvet ember and subtle citrus zest.

Finish

Long, smoke-kissed finish with maritime iodine and charcoal peat, revealing rich sherry sweetness—dark fig, cocoa, and dried fruit. Toasted oak and a whisper of orange zest linger as the warmth fades, leaving a refined, resinous ember that persists softly on the palate.
