Ardbeg
Scotland
Single Malt
An Oa is named after the Mull of Oa in the south west of Islay, which offers the Kildaton coast (where Ardbeg distillery is situated) some protection from the worst the Atlantic has to offer! As such, Ardbeg An Oa is intended to show a more approachable side to Ardbeg single malt that's as rounded as the Oa peninsula, without losing the characteristic distillery style. In the summer of 2017 this became the first addition to Ardbeg's core range in over a decade.
Maturation took place in a combination of casks including Pedro Ximénez, charred virgin oak and ex-bourbon, which were all brought together to marry in Dr. Bill Lumsden's new 'Gathering Vat'!
This sweet, creamy Ardbeg offers notes of butterscotch, fennel seed, tobacco leaf, Honey Nut Clusters and hints of mixed boiled sweets (fruit, Everton mint and menthol). The citrus notes are subtle and rich, coming through as flourless orange cake.
Still plenty of peaty oomph, although perhaps lighter in body. Notes of cigars and golden syrup flapjacks with sweet black tea on the tail and hints of chocolate limes.
Smoky treacle lingers with a little peanut brittle.
Really creamy and great eucalyptus smoke. Perfect balance. A very welcome addition.
I saw some other reviews and was a little hesitant, but still went ahead and wasn't disappointed at all. True Ardbeg, with a slightly lighter character, my new favorite pre dinner whisky.
Another Ardbeg! And not a bad price. Uigeadail is still my fave, but can definitely see adding this to my stable of peat bombs. Bottle says that they are marrying in vats, so sounds kind of like a solera situation.
Amazing amazing stuff! Truly epic whisky :-)
What a great addition to the Ardbeg line up. Really enjoyable and quaffable, yet a serious whisky. I'm sure this one attract many new Ardbeg lovers.
