|Ardbeg - Uigeadail Single Malt Scotch Whisky Islay
PROCESS & PROFILE
Ardbeg Uigeadail is one of the most celebrated releases from the Islay-based Ardbeg Distillery, named after Loch Uigeadail—the distillery’s water source.

Bottled at cask strength, around 54.2% ABV, and non-chill filtered, it delivers uncompromised flavor with the dense, oily mouthfeel that Islay whisky lovers crave.

Palate: Bold, smoky flavors of espresso, dark chocolate, raisins, and pepper layered with sherried sweetness.
Finish: Long, smoky, and warming with notes of honey, oak, and lingering spice.
