Ardbeg Uigedail (700ml)

A fine drop of Ardbeg bottled at cask strength. A marriage of Ardbeg from bourbon barrels and sherry casks 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:

Nose: Chocolate-covered caramel and barley sugar with smoky leather, raisins and linseed oil.

Palate: Chewy and oily with rich fruit-cake sweetness leading to honey and barbecue smoke.

Finish: Long, dry and sweet with honey and treacle.
