Since its establishment in 1815, The Ardbeg distillery has been on a tumultuous rollercoaster ride of ownership changes, closures, and reopening. Stability was only achieved relatively recently, when the ailing distillery was purchased in 1997 by industry giants, Glenmorangie. The subsequent years have seen the distillery’s popularity swell, with fans enticed by the signature style of tarry, sooty smoke, balanced against citric sweetness and an oily mouthfeel. While Ardbeg still retains its distinctive personality, it has definitely been influenced by Glenmorangie’s propensity for experimenting with cask finishing, and (dare we say it) NAS expressions.
Uigeadail:
Uigeadail derives from the Scotch Gaelic for 'Dark and Mysterious Place' and is named for the Loch that supplies Ardbeg’s water. Appearing on the scene in 2003, it represents the distillery’s first proper foray into the NAS market, but don’t let that put you off. Uigeadail has won just about every whisky award going, with older examples commanding a steep premium at auction thanks to glowing reviews from the likes of Jim Murray. With its rich sherry influence, it’s easy to see why this expression remains a firm favourite amongst Ardbeg fans.
