Ardbeg Scotch Single Malt Uigeadail |
Ultimate Beverage Challenge 94 points - This beast of a whisky has incredibly intense aromas of baked seaweed, roasted salt, and barbecued lemon. The maritime tones continue on the massive palate that crescendos into a warming blast of camp fire and barley. - 2018 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Finalist).April/2018
Whisky Advocate 94 points - Launched in 2003, Uigeadail remains one of Ardbeg’s core offerings. Matured in a mix of sherry and bourbon barrels and bottled at cask strength. Peppery peat, warm tar, coffee grounds, machine oil, and black pepper on the nose. The palate is complex and rich, offering orange segments sprinkled with sea salt, dark chocolate, malt, and ever-present sweet peat. Nicely balanced. Lengthy in the finish, with smoky caramel.

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.

Preface: I am by no means a whisky expert but not a complete beginner either. Although it is peated, the peat aspect is much tamer than in it is something like Laphroiag or even Ardbeg's own 10 year old. A portion of what you'll taste in this bottle comes from Ardbeg aged in sherry casks. The end result is a bottle that contains peaty characteristics with an equal proportion of sherried sweetness. It's very well balanced, with a long finish.

Just a splash of water ..... (I may be a wuss but anything over 100 proof). This has nice little extra from the sherry casks it is aged in. I may be biased as I live the 10 and the corry also.

Others have raved about this particular product, but I found it lacking for the hype given. The pete flavor overpowers everything (taste/smell) that could make this a much better item. That said, and if you can get past the heavy-handed flavor, it goes down smooth enough to not need water to cut it. And, at the price, if you think about mixing it with something, look elsewhere. It's good enough to stand on its own. *First time drinker of single malt scotch-wiskey, so take the review as you will. My normal drink of choice is Crown Royal.
