Nose
Rounded and subtly smoky (Applewood smoked), with creamy toffee, aniseed, treacle and dates. Acurious 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 & 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.

Description

The gathering together of three different cask types
is what makes Ardbeg An Oa unique within the core
range.
The three cask types married together are:
▪ 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.

This gift pack includes a stylish Ardbeg tumblr glass.
