The Ardbeg Distillery lies on the most southerly part of Islay on the rugged shores of the Atlantic Ocean. Ardbeg is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex whisky of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather the peat gives way to the malt, the natural sweetness of which subtly intrudes, producing perfect balance. The unusual spirit still with its purifier, the only one of its kind on Islay, is what many believe contributes to this balance and complexity, making Ardbeg the malt to which all others aspire...The Ultimate Islay Malt. Ardbeg Uigedail takes its name from the brooding, mysterious loch which provides the peat-laden water for Ardbeg. This is a special vatting of different styles of Ardbeg, marrying together its traditional deep, smoky notes with the luscious, sweet, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. Ardbeg Uigeadail is non chill-filtered at high strength which retains maximum flavour and gives more body and added depth. With water a little cloudiness may occur which is perfectly natural.

Critic reviews and blind-tasting competition results for this bottle.
This is an incredibly complex Islay whisky, with its bonfire smoke, brine, and peppered olive notes balanced by a taming sweetness of vanilla, marshmallow, and toffee. … Incredibly long finish.
All the power of peat, sea salt, phenol, leather, allspice and clove in one nose. Sherry sweetness adds another dimension on the palate. Lots of complexity and potency on the very long finish.
The sherried whisky used here provides some depth and sweetness to the dram, but doesn't over-saturate it in sticky fruits, nor is it one note. … Coffee grounds, smoked toasted barley, prunes, tobacco leaves, sea salt, caramel--the list goes on.
Rich cream sherry and vanilla pod notes balanced with subtle peat and smoke. A hint of fruitcake and lemon sherbet add complexity on the palate with tropicality lingering.
Bright fruit driven malt with smoky lemon flavours. Spicy aniseed palate with malted flavours.
Ginger, cinnamon doughnuts, apple compote, fruitcake, lemon grass and gorse. A smoky sweet, ashy green delight.
Ripe pear and peach sweetness with floral notes and vinous aromatics. Rounded and complex with a spicy tang and smoky dryness on the finish.
Irresistibly appealing, this is both zesty and graceful with classic vanilla and gentle oak spices on the palate. Along the way there are a few flashes of juicy plums and warm spice.
Sweet and well rounded, this dram has treacle, caramelised nuts, Madeira cake and creamy vanilla. A fruity, aromatic, smoky finish caps things off nicely.
The palate is buttery and warming, with a note of leather, heather and some tonka bean too. A long and complex finish starts with black cherries and ends with mossy peat smoke.
Although intense peat is characteristic of Islay Scotches and Ardbeg in particular, here the smoke goes too far. It starts with lovely vanilla, brine and light smoke, but the peat party simply goes on far too long.
The nose presents demerara sugar, roasted peanuts and the scent of new copper coins and burnt red apple. The palate offers cookie dough with salted caramel and a smoky essence reminiscent of smoked red meat biltong …
While the palate, it is fairly sweet, woody, and savory, featuring dried fruits, nuts, and a touch of peat. The finish lingers with cereals and white stone fruit, creating balance and complexity.

Delightful light smoke up first on the nose, with bitter oak, dried fruits and peanuts. Then on the palate there is more bitter oak, sweet balanced smoke, then dark chocolate, orange peel, pepper and zingy ginger in the finish.
