Rating:
100 % of 100

Ardbeg An Oa Single Malt is the first new and permanent addition to Ardbeg’s core range in almost ten years. 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. 

Ardbeg An Oa Single Malt is named after a peninsula on the coast of Islay.

Please Note: Shipping of the An Oa will commence end of October

Ardbeg An Oa Single Malt Islay Whisky 700mL 46.6%

The Mull of Oa is the most untamed part of Islay. Situated on the south west corner of the island, the Mull of Oa cliffs tower over the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a place where storm meets calm. The jutting cliffs are battered by storms and Atlantic waves on one side, and shelter the southern coast of Islay on the other. In Ardbeg An Oa the contrasts continue creating a whisky that is incredibly complex, yet singularly rounded, with 3 cask types married together. These casks are brought together in our Gathering Room, newly-created at the Distillery, in a specially designed gathering vat. This results in a smoky, sweet and singularly rounded whisky; with all the power and intensity of Ardbeg wrapped in an alluring silkiness, at 46.6% and non chill-filtered.

Aroma: Rounded and subtly smoky (Applewood smoked), 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.

Taste: 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. Long and sweet, with floral overtones, mint toffee and some gentle malty, biscuity notes.

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