Quick Fire Whisky Tasting Notes

Ardbeg An Oa

 

 

Nose: Old newspapers burning on a peat fuelled bonfire – pencil shavings - dried seaweed – samphire – caramelized fennel fronds - Maldon sea salt – lemon peel - pink grapefruit zest – sugared almonds – Fry’s Chocolate Cream bar – orange oil – tobacco leaves – fresh ginger and garish grounds of black pepper.

 

Palate: A pleasurable palatable pounding of peat - Cafe Creme cigars – sherbet lemons – Waitrose treacle tart – Cadbury Crunchie bar – toasted granary bread smeared with Rose’s lime marmalade – cloves – paprika – black and pink peppercorns - Lapsang Souchong tea – charred oak and the tiniest tease of something subtlety menthol.

 

Finish: A fabulously feisty, smoky and spiced, long lunge-ette of a finish.

 

Summary: Ticking all those signature Ardbegian boxes, this latest release is noticeably younger to the brands epic 10 Year Old bottling (not in a bad way) but it makes for a superbly sassy addition to the Ardbeg core range.

 

 

 

Ardbeg An Oa Competition

To help celebrate the launch of the new core range An Oa expression from the multi award-winning Ardbeg, we’ve teamed up with the iconic Islay distillery, to giveaway not one but two bottles of the latest Ardbegian release.

Ardbeg An Oa, has been produced using whiskies that were originally matured in Pedro Ximénes, virgin oak and ex-bourbon barrels, before being married together in a specially created French oak vat.

The vat (The Gathering Vat) which is situated inside Ardbeg Distillery’s new and bespoke Gathering Room, has culminated in a whisky which is said to be far more complex and rounded than the sum of its parts.

Situated at the end of the Oa peninsula on the southside of Islay, The Mull of Oa, is said to be the islands most untamed spot. On one side, its rounded headland – 202m at its height – bears the brunt of storms that rage in from the Atlantic. On the other, it provides shelter from the wild weather to the southern coast of Islay, including Ardbeg Cove, where the Ardbeg Distillery is nestled.

To be in with a chance of winning a bottle of Ardbeg An Oa, Click Here and email us your contact details along with the phrase that dramming pays:

“Sip sip, hooray! I’d love to pour

and explore an awesomely Ardbegian

drop of new core range dramspankage”
