	This exuberant youngster shows great depth and provides an excellent introduction to the "Islay character". Nestled in a rock covered cove on the southern most tip of the island, this distillery now thrives under its 1997 ownership by Glenmorangie plc.

	SUGGESTED CHOCOLATE PAIRING Chuao - Le Citron, Cinco de Mayo & Gran Cacao The citrusy freshness of Le Citron and Cinco de Mayo are perfect flavor mates for this malt. The bittersweet dark chocolate of the Gran Cacao offers a beautifully contrasting alternative. Too many choices too little time. SUGGESTED CIGAR PAIRING Partagas No. 8 Maduro The Ardbeg 10 is a classic heavily peated Islay malt that just begs for a dark maduro cigar, and this combination produces a rich, rewarding experience.
