Ardbeg Malt • Uigeadail 6 / Case

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
