The Ardbeg Committee's favourite whisky, Uigeadail is Gaelic for a dark, mysterious place. Named after the distillery's water source, this whisky is a marriage of sweetness, spice and deep smokiness.

The peat-laden waters of Loch Uigeadail provide the smoky tones in this whisky, while maturation in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks imparts rich, warm flavours perfect for a dramatic, stormy night.

Extremely smoky peat, generations of whisky-making knowledge and water from this blend's namesake, Loch Uigeadail, all play their part in creating this whisky.

But the true secret behind Ardbeg Uigeadail's success? A unique vatting method that marries the deep, smoky notes from ex-bourbon American oak with the luscious, raisin-like character of ex-sherry Oloroso casks.

This whisky is matured in Oak Cask barrels. It is a version of 70 cl and has an alcohol content of 54,2%.

The whisky was bottled at cask strength. What does cask strength mean? A cask strength whisky is not diluted with water before bottling, but goes straight from the cask into the bottle, thus retaining the alcohol content during/after cask maturation. One of the advantages of this cask strength Ardbeg Uigeadail is that, when drinking it, you can decide how strong you like your whisky by diluting it, or not, yourself with a little water according to your preference, instead of the producer having already done this for you. However, the higher alcohol content can sometimes suppress the subtlety of the whisky.
