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.

Producer's Tasting Notes
Nose: The undiluted nose is deep and rounded – chocolate caramels and barley sugar combine with dates, raisins and smooth sherry notes. Later, you find leather and linseed oil.
With water the sweetness gives way to malted honeycomb, with flowering currants emerging through the smoky sweetness of a well-fired fruit pudding.Taste: Sweet, chewy and oily with a silky mouthfeel. The flavour is initially sweet, revealing fruit cake and treacle. This is followed by barbecued or honey roast food with the slightest hint of olives.
Finish: Again long, both sweet and dry with honey, treacle and a trace of lint.

Excellent whisky. Perfect in every respect -- lovely amber colour, great depth and taste.

Oh my word, this is a special whisky. The tasting notes above pretty much cover the specifics, but what impresses me the most is the sheer depth and complexity of each flavour, and the gradual order at which they come to you. Sitting with a glass of this is akin to reading a good book with your tongue; don't bother having any distractions other than perhaps a log fire or a nice view. The only whisky I've had which has surpassed this clocked in at four times the price. Sublime.

I enjoy Lagavulin 16 year, various Laphroaig and On occasion an Aberlour Malt This is the finest Scotch Whiskey for my palate Peaty. Smoky, a bit sweet...and smooth at near cask strength. I always drink this neat andthis is nectar of the peat bog gods .

Once I opened it, I could scent the smell of the London tube. So strong, so long. It needs to be nursed just a bit a time; it's a punch , but doesn't burn, and lasts so long. So easy to drink, so rewarding even in small amounts. Superb whisky. Great , great value for money
-
Best expression in the Ardbeg family...one of the best peaty whisky moments you can experience
-
Without a doubt, this is the best Islay whiskey ever made!
-
Sweet yet smokey with a marvelous earthy finish. Set up another and cheers!!

Bubbles when shaken are large and long lasting, indicative of the high ABV. Coatline was thin and legs ran thin and fast, indicating a young whisky. Appearance is light gold. Nose initially peaty and then honey and fruitcake almost Xmas cake. Didn't get any salt. Fruitcake becomes more apparent further down the glass. Palate was strongly peaty, but then fruity. Finish is very long and peaty with the fruitcake certainly present.. American oak, Jack Daniels ex bourbon, is the primary cask, but the assertiveness of European sherry casking( Olorosso?) comes through in the fruitiness. Conclusion - a lovely dessert type whisky. IMO the Ardbeg 10 year old is the peated to taste whisky to beat. UIGEADAIL is a nice occasional alternative, but certainly not a substitute for the ten.

Wonderful, the first time I had it I was indifferent. Now I can't believe how great it us
-
An insane whisky. I am a lover of smoky whisky and thought Laphroaig Qtr Cask was good until I tried this! Seriously recommend it to any smoky whisky drinker
-
My favourite affordable Ardbeg. Deep and complex, smoky with the right amount of peat. Sweet notes are bitter enough to be extremely enjoyable (I'm not a fan of 'in your face' fruitiness). Typical for Ardbeg salt, iodine and burnt tyre notes are not dominant but compliment each other perfectly. I've long stopped counting all the bottles I've bought...
-
A glorious whisky which fully deserves 5 stars. Huge flavours but beautifully rounded. Absolutly fantastic. In my opinion Ardbeg 10 is perhaps a purer expression of what the distillery is all about and has a little more potency in the finish, but this is still a sensational dram which belongs in any serious collection.
-
An absolute blinder from Ardbeg, tried this in Edinburgh. Agree totally with producers tasting notes but, I found adding water removed a lot of the flavour, this is one to add to my cabinet for sure
-
Love it. After a visit to Scottland with whisky tasting this really is my favourite.
-
10 out of 10. A favourite whisky. I love its dirty salty sweetness.
-
A very complex Islay offering that fills the nose and challenges the palate. Well done Ardbeg!
-
Excellent scotch. Very well balanced and amazingly smooth for such a high alcohol content product.
-
I''ve tried many whisky like Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Bowmore, Benriach, Talisker. This one is just perfect. You must try it.
-
This is my favourite whisky ever tried it in Edinburgh and then I bought a bottle from the whisky exchange 5 stars
-
I have tried Lagavulin and laphroaig they were a stronger smokey taste, however this Ardbeg nectar is to me the best dram i have ever tried to date its opened up with a little cold water to give the most amasing taste.
