Ardbeg Malt • Uigeadail

In 2009 Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible named Ardbeg Uigeadail ‘World Whiskey of the Year’ – in praise of its utter silky brilliance and complexity on a level only a handful of distilleries in the world can even dream of reaching. 54.2% ABV Pronounced ‘Oog-a-dal’ it’s a special vatting that marries Ardbeg’s traditional deep smoky notes with luscious raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. Ardbeg Uigeadail was voted by the 120 000+ strong Ardbeg Committee as their favorite Ardbeg. Tasting Notes: Color: Deepest Gold Aroma: Rich and weighty with heady and smoky aromatics. At full strength the initial aroma is a beguiling mix of warm Christmas cake walnut oil and parma violets fused with fresh ocean spice cedar and pine needles falling from the Christmas tree. A smoldering coal fire and the scent of well-oiled leather brings warmth. The sweetness of treacle toffees and chocolate-coated raisins emerge through the smoke. With water the deep smokiness increases in intensity
