Ardbeg Scotch Whisky, Islay Single Malt 750 ml
Estd 1815. The Ultimate. No chill-filtered. Treacle. Bacon. Bonfires. The Ardbeg Distillery lies on the most southerly part of Islay on the rugged shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Ardbeg is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex whisky of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather the peat gives way to the malt, the natural sweetness of which subtly intrudes, producing The Ardbeg Still perfect balance. The unusual spirit still with its purifier, the only one of its kind on Islay, is what many believe contributes to this balance and complexity, making Ardbeg the malt to which all others aspire - The Ultimate Islay Malt. Ardbeg Uigeadail takes its name from the brooding, raft mysterious loch which provides the peat-laden water for Ardbeg. This is a special vatting of different styles of Ardbeg, marrying together its traditional deep, smoky notes with the luscious, sweet, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. Ardbeg Uigeadail is non chill-filtered at high strength which retains maximum flavour and gives more body and added depth. With water a little cloudiness may occur which is perfectly natural. Unquestionably the greatest distillery to be found on earth. If perfection on the palate exists, this is it. - Jim Murray's. The complete book of Whisky.
