  • Ardbeg Uigeadail - Smokey Sweet Peat

    By mdelmarter on 19th Feb 20102010-02-19T07:40:00

    The nose is a combination of smokey sweetness and old leather. In the mouth it is smooth and oily, peaty with a touch of smoke. The finish is long, sweet and slightly dry with peppery overtones. One of… read more

  • Ardbeg Uigeadail - Just another Ardbeg Uigeadail review

    By Jean-Luc on 23rd Oct 20092009-10-23T14:23:00

    Here's my two bob on the matter. I'll keep this to the point; I get marzipan and figs on the nose with a bit of sweet rubber, like a new Wellington boot. This whisky is quite an assault on the senses… read more

  • Ardbeg Uigeadail - The quintessential Islay malt

    By jdcook on 18th Oct 20092009-10-18T12:08:00

    The smell of this whiskey can waft across half a room. Smoky, peaty, but not heavy - almost refreshing with a hint of sweet citrus and a smidge of caramel. Very strong and smooth - very engaging. The… read more

  • Ardbeg Uigeadail - Probably the best Ardbeg

    By hojt on 9th Oct 20092009-10-09T17:59:00

  • Ardbeg Uigeadail - Super Peat the First

    By WhiskyApostle on 9th Jul 20092009-07-09T15:13:00

    The nose on Uigeadail is smoky, peaty, and briny with hints of leather and honey. All put together, it smells like a well-worn shoe (perhaps a shoe that you wear while you barbeque on a beach by the North… read more
