Producer’s Tasting Notes

Nose

Rounded and subtly smoky (applewood), with creamy toffee, aniseed, treacle and dates. A curious suggestion of juicy fruits, such as peach and banana. With a drop of water, reminders of Ardbeg’s classic fragrance: lime, pine resin, fennel, saddle soap and tar. A gentle waxiness, like fragrant candlewax, and hints of smoked herbs.
Palate

A smooth, creamy texture leads into a huge syrupy sweetness, flavours of milk chocolate, treacle toffee, aniseed, orange and smoky tea leaves. Gentle, sweet spices (nutmeg and cinnamon), some cigar smoke, and a very unusual flavour of grilled artichokes. Long and sweet, with floral overtones, mint toffee and some gentle malty, biscuit notes.
Finish

Lingering, seductive, gentle yet intense, with flavours of aniseed, hickory and distant subtle smoke.

Product Description

Ardbeg is the peatiest, smokiest yet most balanced of all the Islay malts, balancing smokiness with sweetness to provide a wider complexity of taste.

Inspired by the Mull of Oa, the cliffs protecting the Ardbeg distillery from the wild Atlantic Ocean, An Oa embraces its contrasts. This whisky balances roundness with Ardbeg's signature intensity.
