Ardbeg An Oa

Ardbeg An Oa offers a soft, smooth palate that is brimming with the sweet taste of butterscotch. This devilishly delicious silkiness is born from its maturation in new charred oak and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. The whisky’s sweetness is punctuated by intriguing hints of clove and tiny stings of black pepper, adding a spicy contrast to its smooth character.

The whisky reveals an array of complex flavors including smoky charred applewood, toffee, aniseed, treacle, dates, peach, and banana. These flavors are beautifully balanced on the palate, each sip delivering a smooth and creamy experience. The sweetness is complemented by notes of chocolate, treacle toffee, aniseed, orange, and smoky tea leaves, enhancing its depth and richness.

The finish is gentle yet captivating, with sweet spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon coming to the fore. There are also intriguing notes of cigar smoke, grilled artichoke, and wood. The finish is long and lingering, with floral and sweet elements, mint toffee, malty biscuit notes, aniseed, hickory, and a subtle, distant smoke. Ardbeg An Oa is a whisky that offers a truly immersive tasting journey.
