Uigeadail (pronounced "Oog-a-dal") means in Gaelic "a dark and mysterious place". Named after the distillery's water source, this whiskey is a union of sweetness, spice and deep smokiness. The peat-laden waters of Loch Uigeadail bring the smoky tones to this whisky, while maturation in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks gives it rich, warm flavors, perfect for a dramatic and stormy evening. But what is the real secret to Ardbeg Uigeadail's success? A unique vatting method that combines the deep, smoky notes of ex-bourbon American oak with the luscious, raisiny character of ex-sherry Oloroso casks. Not cold filtered.
A fine drop of Ardbeg bottled with cask strength. An Ardbeg pairing of bourbon casks and sherry butts that gives a sweet, smoky finish to this malt. Uigeadail is the lake from which all Ardbeg's water flows. An absolutely stunning whisky that represents probably the best value for money in the core range.
