Ardbeg An Oa: a singularly rounded dram whose smoky intensity is softened by a delectable, smooth sweetness.
3 cask types are married together:
• Pedro Ximenez casks deliver sweetness.
• Virgin charred oak casks bring spiciness.
• Ex-bourbon casks in high proportion give an even more intense hallmark Ardbeg flavour profile.
• The whiskies are brought together in a specially designed gathering vat. This results in a whisky of complex contrasts: all the power and intensity of Ardbeg wrapped in an alluring silkiness, at 46.6% and non chill-filtered.

Tasting Notes (Nose):
Rounded and smoky - like burning 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 candle wax, and hints of smoked herbs. An Oa gives a final subtle reminder of the sea with briny notes and seaweed but always accompanied with creaminess.
-
Tasting Notes (Finish):
Lingering, seductive, gentle yet intense, with flavours of aniseed, hickory and distant subtle smoke.
-
Tasting Notes (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 & cinnamon), some cigar smoke, and a very unusual flavour of grilled artichokes. Wood is always present in the spirit, gently nutty and reminiscent of a carpenter’s workshop. A long, sweet finish, with floral overtones, mint toffee and some gentle malty biscuit notes.
