Ardbeg - 'Uigeadail' Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Rich and weighty with heady and smoky aromatics. At full strength, the initial aroma is a beguiling mix of warm Christmas cake, walnut oil and parma violets fused with fresh ocean spice, cedar and pine needles falling from the Christmas tree. A smouldering coal fire and the scent of well-oiled leather brings warmth. The sweetness of treacle toffees and chocolate-coated raisins emerge through the smoke. With water, the deep smokiness increases in intensity, reminiscent of a fired Christmas pudding. Rich flowering currants and warm baked banana and walnut bread are served with simmering mocha espresso.
--------THE PRODUCER--------
Ardbeg
Perched on a wave washed, rocky headland on the most southerly part of Islay, the Ardbeg Distillery is one of the most atmospheric (and remote) of all the Scottish Distilleries. Ardbeg stands alone as the most delicate and complex of all the Islay Malts. It does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the malt. This allows for the complexity and sweetness to express itself in a surprisingly subtle way. Balance is at the heart of Ardbeg's uniqueness.
