Ardbeg Uigeadail 54.2% Cask Strength Islay Malt Whisky


Nose

The undiluted nose is deep and rounded – chocolate caramels and barley sugar combine with dates, raisins and smooth sherry notes. Later, you find leather and linseed oil. With water the sweetness gives way to malted honeycomb, with flowering currants emerging through the smokey sweetness of a well fired fruit pudding

Taste

Sweet, chewy and oily with a silky mouth-feel, the flavour is initially sweet, revealing fruit cake and treacle. This is followed by smoked, barbecued or honey roast food with the slightest hint of olives.

Finish

Long, both sweet and dry with honey, treacle and a trace of lint.
