“This is the best whisky. I love Islay whiskies and have tried quite a few, including 25 year old ones. I always return to this”

Description

This stunning expression from Islay's Ardbeg distillery on the Kildalton Coast is named after a nearby loch (pronounced "Oog-a-dal"). It's the perfect example of how sweet and savoury notes can work together spectacularly - you'll find Ardbeg's maritime salinity intact here, combined with dried fruit notes imparted by time spent in sherry casks. Kind of like when you mix sweet popcorn and salty popcorn together, it results in something absolutely wonderful.

Nose

Multifaceted, notes of peat and little flourishes of dark sugar, freshly ground espresso beans, cereal notes and a most sophisticated tar.

Palate

Led by sweet, ripe fruit and black forest honey. A good helping of malt. The throne then usurped by a powerful peat and smoked barley.

Finish

Very long, caramel and malt weave their way through peat smoke and dark sugar and just a hint of fresh espresso coffee before it finally peters out.

Overall

Such deft balance! How wonderful to sample Ardbeg so beautifully complimented by sherry.

The Islay of Islays

There are reviewers here who have complained that the Uigeadail is overwhelming. I can see their point of view because there's no doubt that this is a heavy duty confection, a great big whisky on any showing. But that's Islay for you! For me, this is the apotheosis of single malts.

Glorious

One of the finest whiskys I've ever drank. Needs a splash of water due to the high abv to really open up the flavors but wow I taste a little sherry and a LOT of smoke but what's nice with this ardbeg is the sherry lets some of it's more coastal notes through the epic smokiness and finishes with a rich dark chocolate smoke. This ,laphroaig triple wood, and lagavulin 16 are the 3 best whiskys on the planet and I can never decide which I like more so I try to have all 3 at all times in my collection. The Sugarbear

Too overwhelming for the palate

I am a diehard single malt fan who appreciates the quality that goes into these fine whiskies, especially the Islays. A fellow Islay lover with whom I share generally common tastes is especially big on Ardbeg, and so I got myself a bottle of this one based on customer recommendations. And while I can recognize the complexities of the tastes going on here, they are just too overwhelming on the palate. I like a subtle burn, not a fiery one, but with the Uigeadail, it's only the latter I get. (For the record, my Ardbeg-loving friend agrees.) I'm glad some people like this, but it's far, far from being my favourite Islay.

Great Stuff

Lots of great stuff going on in here, I would say if you have not experienced Islays before, for some there will be some build up required to work your way into the flavours you are about to discover and for some it just does not resonate and that is o.k.. That being said, there is layers and depth here that just keeps unfolding and coming to life, great with a piece of hard cheese as the salinity plays into the sweet and smoke notes in here.. this is a great bottle to have on hand.
