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.

Tasting Notes from the Producer
-
Nose
Rich and weighty with heady and smoky aromatics. At full strength, the initial aroma is a beguiling mix of warm Christmas cake and walnut oil fused with fresh ocean spice, cedar and pine needles, followed by a smoky coal fire and a deep scent of well-oiled leather. The sweetness of treacle toffee and chocolate-coated raisins bring indulgence through the smoke. With water, the deep smokiness increases in intensity, reminiscent of Christmas pudding on fire; flowering currants and warm baked banana-and-walnut bread.
-
Palate
Full-flavoured and rich with a deep mouth-coating texture, the taste is an intriguing balance between sweet, spicy and deep smoky flavours. The flavour is initially sweet as Christmas cake begins to soak into the tongue. A burst of winter spices sets off a smoky-spicy explosion countered by a sumptuous mid-palate of honey-glazed smoked food and chewy treacle.
-
Finish
Amazingly long and chewy with lingering raisin, deep mocha tones and rich aromatic smoke into the perfectly integrated finish.

The balance of sweet and smoke is very well done! The smallest dash of water rounds this dram very nicely. Great dram - highly recommended!

Delicious! Went through a phase when I moved away from the peaty Islay whisky‘s. Didn’t realise what I was missing, Smokey bbq and mellow, lovely after taste, a tiny drop of water releases even more flavours. A lovely dram for after dinner or to chill out with in the evening.

Of all the Ardbegs I've tasted this is the best one so far. It has the typical Ardbeg smokey taste but with much more intensity and smoothness. The sherry casks impart an important flavour contribution to this expression. Also great value for money for a cask strength whisky.

This is my favourite dram buy a country mile if you like your lagavulin 16 and the like then strap in and prepare for the most complex taste explosion you've ever experienced. The base is that trademark Ardbeg wet bonfire peat with notes of raisins smoked meats fennel and sweetened dark fruits like an over ripe plum and much more. Due to the oily mouth feel of the Uigeadail it's coats your tongue leading to a long satisfying smoky honeyed finish with notes of raw smoked bacon somewhere off in the distance. Be warned this it's a very different animal to the whisky in your local newsagents if that stuff was chedder then the Uigeadail would be a strong stilton. Ardbeg really have set the bar with this nectar witch has a permanent place in my cabinet P.S it doesn't tasted like cheese x
