Ardbeg Uigeadail
World Whisky of the Year 2009. Islay peat smoke meets sherry sweetness.
Ardbeg Uigeadail balances Islay's legendary peat smoke with sherry-cask sweetness, delivering smoked dark chocolate and espresso at 54.2% ABV. Jim Murray's 97.5 score in 2009 shocked the Scotch world, making it a benchmark for peated whiskies that is cheaper than typical rivals of similar pedigree. Its non-age-statement profile outperforms Hibiki 21 Year's refined blend with a bold, medicinal warmth that lingers intensely.
