Description
Ardbeg An Oa is singularly rounded, due in no small part to time spent in newly established bespoke oak Gathering Vat where whiskies from several cask types - including; sweet Pedro Ximenez; spicy virgin charred oak; and intense ex-bourbon casks, amongst others - familiarise themselves with each other.
Oliver's Review!
This review focuses on the more approachable side to Islay Whisky that still retains its signature style. This Ardbeg An Oa was bottled in 2021 is part of its core range.

The fun part!
👃 - relaxed peat, aniseed, banoffee, dates, pine needles and lime (19)
👅 - A syrupy texture. Knockout peat and spice along with milk chocolate, smoke, aniseed, orange blossom and a nice woods nuttiness (20)
🏁 - Long lingering spices with a gentle intensity. Well rounded sweetness and a slight shortbread (22)
Overall - Good value for money, low peat, well balanced. What more could you ask? (19)
