Product details

Deep in the hills behind Ardbeg there is a mysterious, magnetic and mesmeric place: Loch Uigeadail. Loch Uigeadail is the source of all the water that creates Ardbeg, and the source of the power of Ardbeg Uigeadail itself. For those that love Ardbeg this is a power that draws them inexplicably near, for those brave few who make the pilgrimage to Loch Uigeadail they are required to continue an ancient ritual, a dram shall be poured and given back to the Loch, poured into the water, lost to man. Uigeadail in the Gaelic language means dark, mysterious place and the rich, dark, golden hues of Ardbeg Uigeadail perfectly reflect the depth and complexity of this legendary whisky. Launched to great acclaim in 2003, Ardbeg Uigeadail is the pinnacle of Islay single malt whiskies. This World Whisky of Year award winning Ardbeg is described as "perfect" by the cognoscenti and "unforgettable" by discerning smoky malt whisky drinkers. Ardbeg Uigeadail is the Ultimate Ultimate.

Tasting Notes - Nose	Rich with smoky aromatics, a beguiling mix of warm Christmas cake, walnut oil and parma violets fuse with fresh ocean spice, cedar and pine needles. A smouldering smoky coal fire and well-oiled leather bring warmth. Treacle toffees and chocolate-coated raisins bring indulgence through the smoke. With water, the deep smokiness increases like a Christmas pudding on fire. Tarry smoke and diesel oil bring smells of an age past. Rich currants and warm banana and walnut bread sit with mocha espresso
Tasting Notes - Palate	Full flavoured and rich with a deep mouth-coating texture, the taste is an intriguing balance between sweet, spicy and deep smoky flavours. The flavour is initially sweet as Christmas cake begins to soak into the tongue. A burst of winter spices sets off a smoky-spicy explosion countered by a sumptuous mid-palate of honey glazed smoked food and chewy treacle. Waves of deep smoky tones and rich aromas build up on the palate like a fine Montecristo cigar.
Tasting Notes - Finish	Amazingly long and chewy with lingering raisiny, deep mocha tones and rich aromatic smoke into the perfectly integrated finish.
How to enjoy Best	Neat.
