Ardbeg Uigeadail Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Description

Whiskey: Ardbeg Uigeadail Single Malt Scotch

Named after Ardbeg’s unique water source, this whisky was named “Whisky of the Year” by the Whisky Bible.

Size: 750mL

Proof: 108.4 (54.2% ABV)

Origin: Scotland

Distillery: Ardbeg Distillery

A fine drop of Ardbeg bottled at cask strength. A marriage of Ardbeg from bourbon barrels and sherry butts which gives a sweet and smoky finish to this malt. Uigeadail is the loch from which all Ardbeg water flows. An absolutely stunning whisky, and following the demise of Airigh nam Beist, this probably represents the best value in the core range.

Ardbeg Uigeadail Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes

Nose: Aroma of Christmas cake, violet, ocean spice, cedar and chewy leather.

Palate: Led by sweet, ripe fruit and black forest honey. A good helping of malt. The throne then usurped by a powerful peat and smoked barley.

Finish: Long and chewy, with notes of raisins, figs and mocha.
