Ardbeg AN OA

Ardbeg is revered across the whisky world as The Ultimate Islay Malt.

Ardbeg is the peatiest, smokiest yet most balanced of all the Islay malts. Ardbeg isn’t a one dimensional peaty malt. Rather, Ardbeg balances smokiness with sweetness to provide a wider complexity of taste.

Ardbeg An Oa is singularly rounded, resulting from several casks types married together. Hallmark Ardbeg peat, dark chocolate and aniseed are wrapped in smooth, silky butterscotch, black pepper and clove.

Tasting Notes: A smooth, creamy texture leads into a huge syrupy sweetness, flavours of milk chocolate, treacle toffee, aniseed, orange and smoky tea leaves. Gentle, sweet spices (nutmeg & cinnamon), some cigar smoke, and a very unusual flavour of grilled artichokes.

Wood is always present in the spirit, gently nutty and reminiscent of a carpenter’s workshop. A long, sweet finish, with floral overtones, mint toffee and some gentle malty biscuit notes.

A singering, seductive, gentle yet intense finish, with flavours of aniseed, hickory and distant subtle smoke.
