ARDBEG 'Uigeadail' The Ultimate Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottle (70cl) 54.2%abv

Description

A fine drop of Ardbeg bottled at cask strength. A marriage of Ardbeg from bourbon barrel and sherry butt which gives a sweet and smokey finish to this malt. Uigeadail is the loch from which all Ardbeg water flows. This year's batch of Uigeadail has more sherry influence and is an absolutely stunning whisky. 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.
