Named after the brooding loch that feeds its water source, Uigeadail (pronounced "Oog-a-dal") is Ardbeg at its most intense. It’s not just peated, it’s poetry in smoke. A marriage of deep sherry cask richness and Islay’s untamed character, this bottle is what happens when a distillery leans fully into its legend.

Ardbeg Uigeadail 70cl
Brand: Ardbeg | Category: Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 54.2% | Origin: Islay, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Dense and smoldering, treacle, espresso, and dark chocolate swirl with campfire smoke and a whiff of sea breeze.
Palate: Explosively rich. Molasses, leather, raisins, black pepper, and smoked bacon erupt across the palate in waves of texture and fire.
Finish: Long, chewy, and unapologetically smoky, with a final burst of spice and soot that fades into dried fruit and dark cocoa.
