Indulge in the smoky and creamy flavours of Ardbeg An Oa Single Malt Scotch from Islay. With hints of toffee, aniseed, and juicy fruits, this versatile scotch is perfect for sipping neat or mixing into cocktails. With a drop of water, uncover the classic fragrance of lime and pine resin, before finishing with subtle briny notes and a touch of creaminess. A velvety, rich texture that reveals a profound sweetness of milk chocolate, treacle toffee, aniseed, orange, and smoky tea leaves. Complemented by hints of nutmeg, cinnamon, and cigar smoke, the unique flavour of grilled artichokes adds a surprising touch. The wood undertones add a nutty essence, reminiscent of a carpenter's workshop. The finish is long, with floral notes, mint toffee, and delicate hints of malty biscuit. This seductive, intense flavour lingers with subtle undertones of aniseed, hickory, and distant smoke.
Established in 1815, Ardbeg is revered by connoisseurs around the world as among the peatiest and smokiest, yet most complex, of all the Islay malts.
Ardbeg An Oa is singularly rounded, due in no small part to time spent in our newly established bespoke oak Gathering Vat where whiskies from several cask types including; sweet Pedro Ximenez; spicy virgin charred oak; and intense ex-bourbon casks, amongst others familiarise themselves with each other. The result is a dram with smoky power, mellowed by a delectable, smooth sweetness.
