Ardbeg Uigeadail Scotch Whisky
Ardbeg Uigeadail Scotch Whisky is an award-winning Islay single malt that embodies the bold and robust character Ardbeg is known for. Named after Loch Uigeadail ("Oog-a-dal"), the distillery’s unique water source, this whisky blends Ardbeg matured in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, creating a rich, complex profile. The bourbon casks impart notes of honey, cinnamon, and baking spices, while the sherry casks contribute layers of dried fruit, figs, and caramelized orange, resulting in an exceptional depth of flavor.
This celebrated whisky has been recognized as "Whisky of the Year" by the Whisky Bible in 2009, scoring an impressive 97.5 points—one of the highest ratings ever awarded. Crafted with malted barley peated to 50 phenol parts per million, Uigeadail showcases Ardbeg’s signature smoky intensity, balanced by sweetness and a smooth, lingering finish. Double-distilled in copper pot stills with a unique purifier for enhanced freshness, and fermented in Oregon pine washbacks, every step in its production reflects the distillery's dedication to tradition and innovation.
