The StoryArdbeg's Uigeadail is a tremendously well regarded scotch, previously named as Jim Murray's World Whisky (not just Scotch!) of the Year in 2009. It predominantly consists of Ardbeg's peaty malt, but it is combined with some whisky aged in ex-sherry casks. The ratio is thought to be roughly 80:20 with sherry aged malt consisting of the minority.
As you know, I'm a pretty big fan of the Corryvreckan. I'm also a fan of sherry, although I consider peated malts to be the true definition of heaven on earth.
Thus, Ardbeg's Uigeadail offering sounds like a match made in heaven for me, right? Made by the artists behind the Corryvreckan. Some subtle sherry notes mingled in. And those miles and miles of peat we have come to expect from Ardbeg.
Match made in heaven, right?
