In 2009, Jim Murray's Whisky Bible named Ardbeg Uigeadail 'World Whisky of the Year' – in praise of its “utter silky brilliance' and “complexity on a level only a handful of distilleries in the world can even dream of reaching.'
Ardbeg Uigeadail (pronounced 'Oog-a-dal') is a special vatting that marries Ardbeg's traditional deep, smoky notes with luscious, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. It's non chill-filtered at high strength, which retains maximum flavour and gives more body and added depth.
Ardbeg Uigeadail was recently voted by the 80,000 strong Ardbeg Committee as their favourite Ardbeg. With whisky this good, who can blame them?
