Ardbeg An Oa

Hailing from the iconic Ardbeg distillery on Scotland's Islay island, An Oa is a complex whisky that embodies the rugged spirit of its namesake, the Mull of Oa. This core release, introduced in 2017, is a masterful blend of Pedro Ximenez, bourbon, and charred virgin oak cask finishes, marrying rich, sweet flavors with the subtle smokiness Ardbeg is known for. On the palate, An Oa unfolds with vibrant notes of citrus, honeyed sweetness, and a hint of spicy warmth, all wrapped in a silky, oily texture. Bottled at 46.6% ABV, this whisky is an exemplary representation of Ardbeg's signature style.
