Introduction:
Ardbeg An Oa Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a masterfully balanced expression that showcases the bold, smoky character of Ardbeg with an added layer of smoothness and depth. Matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez sherry, virgin oak, and ex-bourbon casks, it delivers a rich, complex profile with both power and finesse.
Tasting Notes:
-
Nose: Aromas of smoky peat, toffee, and dark chocolate intertwined with hints of anise, citrus, and wood spice.
-
Palate: Creamy and full-bodied with flavours of sweet caramel, black pepper, and roasted coffee balanced by warm oak and smoky intensity.
-
Finish: Long and smoky with lingering notes of spice, treacle, and dark cocoa.
Pairings:
Perfect enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to reveal its layers. It pairs beautifully with smoked meats, grilled seafood, or dark chocolate desserts that complement its rich, peaty profile.
