Ardbeg Uigeadail (54.2% - 70cl)
Ardbeg Uigeadail
Uigeadail, in Gaelic, means "Dark and Mysterious Place," and it is the name of the loch from which Ardbeg sources its water—a mystical and primordial location, much like this whisky, which was named "World Whisky of the Year" by Jim Murray in 2009.

Ardbeg Uigeadail (pronounced 'Oog-a-dal') is a whisky with deep smoky notes and rich tones of raisins, a blend of different Ardbeg expressions finished in ex-sherry casks. It is non-chill filtered to preserve its distinct flavor from the cask finish and enhance its depth.
