Whisky Advocate
Ardbeg doles out occasional limited releases for their avid fans, but for nearly a decade the core range consisted of just three whiskies: 10 year old, Uigeadail, and Corryvreckan. The addition of An Oa, matured in a combination of virgin oak, Pedro Ximénez sherry, and bourbon barrels, and married in a French oak ‘gathering vat’ prior to bottling, marks a reason to celebrate. An Oa is a more approachable Ardbeg. It lacks some of the typical oiliness, but flavor and complexity abound with hot peat, black tea, and peppery cloves. Die-hard Ardbeg fans should have no complaints, and new converts have a real treat in store.

Description

2021 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Medal Winner

A welcome new addition to the Ultimate range. Ardbeg An Oa is non chill-filtered, singularly rounded; due in no small part to time spent in this 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. The result is a dram with smoky power, mellowed by a delectable, smooth sweetness. Hallmark Ardbeg peat, dark chocolate and aniseed are wrapped in smooth, silky butterscotch, black pepper and clove, before rising to an intense crescendo of flavor.

Single Malt

Single malt whiskey, a pinnacle of craftsmanship, is exclusively distilled at a single distillery from 100% malted barley. This meticulous process imparts a unique character, reflecting the distillery's location, climate, and traditional methods. As it matures in oak barrels, it develops a complex flavor profile with malt sweetness, fruity notes, and hints of oak. Cherished for its quality and depth, single malt whiskey embodies a distillery's artistry and distinct terroir. Whether enjoyed neat, with water, or in a cocktail, it symbolizes tradition, expertise, and the rich heritage of whiskey-making.
