Ardbeg Uigeadail Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky  £78.41

ARDBEG UIGEADAIL ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

Ardbeg Uigeadail is a legendary Islay single malt whisky, renowned for its bold peat smoke, rich sherried sweetness, and deep complexity. Named after the loch that supplies Ardbeg’s pure water, Uigeadail is a non-age statement whisky, carefully crafted using a unique blend of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. This combination results in a perfectly balanced whisky with intense smokiness and deep, raisin-like sweetness.

Production & Ageing Process

Ardbeg Uigeadail is crafted using heavily peated malt, giving it the signature Islay smokiness whisky lovers crave. The whisky matures in a mix of American oak ex-bourbon barrels, which bring vanilla and spice, and Oloroso sherry casks, adding rich dried fruit, dark chocolate, and Christmas cake notes. This careful selection of casks ensures an unparalleled depth of flavour, with no chill filtration to preserve its full-bodied texture and bold character and is bottled at a cask strength of 54.2% ABV

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Intense peat smoke, with notes of dried fruits, espresso, dark chocolate, and toffee, layered with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg.
• Palate: A luxurious mouthfeel with a perfect balance of smoky and sweet flavours. Waves of sherried raisins, molasses, honey, and black pepper combine with deep barbecue smoke and oak spice.
• Finish: Long, warming, and complex, with lingering notes of charred oak, espresso, and sweet spices, ending on a smoky embrace.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Ardbeg Uigeadail pairs beautifully with strong, flavourful dishes that complement its bold profile:

• Charcuterie & Smoked Meats – Enhance the whisky’s smoky depth with smoked brisket, Iberico ham, or chorizo.
• Rich Cheeses – Try with mature cheddar, Roquefort, or smoked gouda for a perfect balance of saltiness and peat.
• Dark Chocolate Desserts – Pair with 70%+ dark chocolate or espresso brownies to bring out the whisky’s sherried sweetness.
