Ardbeg Uigeadail Traditional Strength Islay Single Malt Whisky (Was $100) 750ml

SKU #1011309

2009 World Whiskey of the Year. F. Paul Pacult's List of the Scotch Whiskies to be Drinking in 2007. Ardbeg Uigeadail (pronounced Oog-a-dal) takes its name from the brooding, mysterious loch that provides the peat-laden water for Ardbeg. It is a special vatting of casks matured in bourbon barrels and many older sherry casks. The older casks bring luscious, sweet, raisiny tones to the unique Ardbeg taste. Only a few bottles available! Michael Jackson's tasting notes: "Nose: Intensely smoky. Dry, clean, tangy smoke. Like standing downwind of the barbecue while steaks are char-grilled on the beach; Palate: Firm, very smooth, then explodes on the tongue; Finish: Hot. Alcoholic. A shock to the system; Comment:The elemental opposite of the sophisticated Lord of the Isles." 9 1/4 points from Whisky Magazine! Non chill-filtered 54.2% abv.

Step-up to the peat! This was my first Ardbeg purchase and I am now fully in love with the Uigeadail! This is a staple in my liquor cabinet next to the Laiphroaig 10 Year Cask Strength, and Junipero Gin! The Uigeadail shows wonderful tones of dark roast coffee, jalepeno spice, smoldering cedar in the fireplace, and a rich caramel finish! The peat smoke in the Uigeadail is much stronger than the ten-year and one of my favorite aspects of this unique and delicious Scotch!

I love Ardbeg, and the Uigeadail is one of the most special expressions that I have had from this great Islay distillery. No other distillery makes a malt quite as peaty as Ardbeg, and this one has an additional twist: sherry wood aging. The sherry wood gives another dimension of richness and weight to this typically light and piercing single malt. I have a bottle at home, and I love it for a cold night by the fire - but Alex Brisoux (the Redwood City store manager) swears by it with oysters! That is a combination that is hard for me to imagine, but I don't doubt a professional like Alex on a topic as serious as pairings!

If you enjoy a robust, peaty, smokey, single malt, you will love this one. My all-time favorite scotch. Since it is cask strength at 55%, you only need a wee dram. You will tell your friends about this one. Memorable!
