holy shit. on the nose pineapple, a little sour and sweet some strawberry. on the pallate ritch full power punch of peat with a nice rounded sweetness. spicy and a full sensation!
A very nice dram that is extremely well-balanced with notes of raisins, vanilla, smoke, and wood.
Honey, vanilla, light smoke, light wood
Raisins, honey, light wood, light sugar, smoke
Long finish with honey, vanilla, and smoke
Angenehmer, rauchiger Malt, der deutlich mehr Süßeund Frucht als der 10 Jährige mitbringt
Rauch, etwas Asche, Vanille, leichte Frucht
Rauch, aber auch deutlich fruchtig, Vanille, ölig
Ingwer, Rauch, trocken
Smells of Smoked Ham/bacon. Peppery and high proof.
It has that wonderful Ardbeg smoke and meat flavor. You definitely get the salty brinie taste but it is more balanced than the Wee Beastie. Less smoke than the Beastie. Still fantastic but a bit expensive.
I normally don't like Islay whiskies but this is okay.
I find myself reaching for this more often then not when pouring a drink. Initially, I was not a huge fan. The cask strength and resonable costs cannot be beat. i get a near perfect blend of peat smoke and sherry.
Дитя маркетинга. Я так понимаю, хвалебные отзывы связаны с первыми релизами из начала 00х. Виски 2018 г не впечатлил. Nas даст о себе знать ударом по носу, обожжет горло, особенно если вы попытаетесь разбавить этот виски водой в попытке вытянуть из него те самые высокие рейтинговые баллы и гарантирует слабое послевкусие. По стилю это усиленная кол ила 12. Но виски более сбит, напорист, проскакивает ягодно бисквитная тема. Нос - кисло- сладкие яблоки. Дым - печная гарь, торф. Кстати если хорошо разболтать торф появится уже в запахе. Медицины и моря нету. Для меня это непонятное направление виски, хотя и лучше торта с шашлыком от октоморов и порта шарлотты. Будет дополнено, так как бутылка только открыта.

Really nice whisky but I don't find it so complex.
Really no any off note but also not a whisky I will have few bottles backup
Neat: Smoke barely noticeable, little bit aggressive needs some water
With water: More smoke sherry influence becoming visible, coconut
Neat: Simple but I like it soo much! Just extinguished pine tree fire, ash, intense
With water: some lemon, sweet, some salty notes, smoke
Just extinguished pine tree fire, oak, dry, sour, green tea
A sweet smoky and savory dram that has a lovely texture.
sweet sherry, toffee caramel, dark chocolate, marzipan, caramelized onion
sherry to start, Frazzles, smoky bacon, sweet BBQ, dark chocolate, nutty
lots of smoke, heat, pepper, tannic,
Full-bodied, distinctively peated and bittersweet with prolonged finishing. It's there to stay through the night. To be left at the end of the tasting, nothing to follow
Intense peat, with dark cherries, bitter chocolate and wood notes, sultanas and a remote echo of citrus; medicinal, salty sea breeze
Lovely, bitter and smokey, spicey on the arrival. The smoke expands and flourishes without becoming aggressive. More body than the 10 yrs. brother. Liquorice, citrus, raspberries, dry grass, hay.
Long and aromatic. Smoke inevitably lingers on as expected. Liquorice and citrus accompanying.
Damn. This is a special whisky! Ardbeg 10yo turned up to 11! Sweet. Campfire peat. Spicy in a good way. The alcohol % is perfect.
Just the right amount of sherry influence, leather, sweet and sour, slight amount of well cooked bacon akin to Lagavulin and the only other whisky I’ve tried with this type of peat note. Rich. Luxurious. Oily. Unbelievably moreish
It’s arguable whether this whisky is objectively the best I have had, but as an Ardbeg fan, and someone who loves peated whisky, coupled with the perfect presentation, I think this is subjectively my favorite whisky right now. A must buy if you are a peat head
Despite that tabaco finale, it stays a really nice smoky whisky.
Nose: smoked bacon and medicinal
Pallet: full and rich and medicinal
Finish: peat and bbq
wonderfully peary
brine and peat smoke with a fruit sweetness on the nose, strawberry(?) and raisin followed by peat and bbq smoke and sauce. More going on than I can put a finger on. Delicious, may adjust score higher once I've had more whiskey - with a relatively small sample size I'm leaving room for others to score higher, but this is one I'll keep on hand.

klasyka od Ardbega
very interesting and we'll balanced islay. unapologetically peaty, but doesn't hit you over the head with it like a Laphroaig. somewhat like a Lagavulin 16, with a bit more salt and a sweetness unique to the ardbeg. A wonderful whisky that definitely belongs on any peat lovers shelf. highly recommend.
peat and salt with a little bit of sweetness.
strong peat and salt. mild sherry sweetness.
slightly bitter, with a medium, warm oily finish.
Earthy, peaty, sea and salt, wheat, vanilla, peppery. Same on taste but more oily, a bit burning alcohol, earthy-ryeish taste. Finish very long, grainy and wheaty, peat and smoke with sweetness mixed with pepper. Very complex.
Smooth, medicinal with a long finish
Salt lakris og røkte fiken, st. Hans bål og romjul! Fyldig med lang og fascinerende smak.
Pepper and oil and spice. A little more refined than the Corey and not as in your face.
Very savoury and nice! smoke is huge... fantastic. as if you are at the BBQ pit. sweet caramel is also present.
Very campfire ashy smoke that I find typical of Ardbeg. noticeable sweetness from the sherry cask....honey and caramel...fruity on the palate after pushing through the smoke. Very nice!
Tons of flavor, incredible peat and smoke balance
It's good. But whooo boy is it smokey. Adding a few teaspoons of water really opens up the fruit flavor and makes it more palatable
Nase: Sehr viel Rauch. Maritime Noten, Jod, dann Vanille.
Geschmack: Süße, Frucht, Vanille, dann Rauch im Abgang.
Beautiful smoked flavor.
Lovely! A terrific combination of sherry and smoke. Gently assertive (as opposed to Ardbeg 10 in-your-face style).
smoky,spicy,sweet
If you like smoky one this can be your favorite.
You can feel where is the uigeadail in your body :)
One of the best smoky one for sure, just 2.
Smoky and medicinal just a hint of fruit
Upon opening for first time it is a very pleasant aroma the entices you
Did not expect the level of peat (to much) but after third sip leveled out
Sticks around - long finish
Exactly as described: bacon, treacle, campfire, plus, I would add forest trees, on the nose, pallet, and finish, plus old leather shoes and wood varnish. Ice increases the sweetness (though, the level of sweetness straight was already good) and tree taste. It's straight-forward, smooth, tasty, and consistent. I prefer it as is.
very Smokey, fruity
Sehr Mild, relativ kleiner Aromenumfang.
My first sip of this, I regretted purchasing it....but for some reason had to take another sip. Thats my entire relationship with this whisky (as well as most islays). I'm not in love but its extremely interesting that I have to keep going back. This one is peaty, smokey, sweet, and briny on the nose as well as the palate. I get notes of vanilla, unsweetened chocolate, brown sugar, leather, and tobacco, not every time and not all at once. Very interesting and very complex. Not in love but definitely keeps me coming back.
Balanced but still complex whisky with close to perfect combination of peat and sweetness, less peated than expected if familiar with 10yo Ardbeg. Color also more towards amber than 10yo.
Great combination of peat, sweetness and raisin notes, many layers involved as more notes keep on appearing with brine, toffee, leather etc. Smokiness increases with water. I would say aroma is the best part of this whisky.
Peat appears first along with sweetness and spicyness. Very silky mouthfeel, the higher ABV is balanced by the peat and sweetness.
Quite long finish with raisin and smoke.
Amazing whiskey! Peaty, briney, smokey, meaty, fruity, sweet and savory notes galore. Each sniff and taste reveal more layers and it’s ever changing, getting new combos of notes the longer it’s in the glass. The finish is long, satisfying and just as complex. Mind blown. Thank you Ardbeg.
Smoke, peat, strong, sweet, little sherry, chocolate. Long finish. Excellent!
smoke, peaty, fruit, warm, tobacco
My whisky preferences are as persistent as they can get in their trying to push me away from objectivity, yet I once again try my best to find it. I’m not into sherry, anyway there are ones I enjoy, of course, if treated with or spotted them out of my curiosity.
Do you like AyeSLAY whisky? Let’s assume ‘yes’ is the answer. Now do you adore vanilla? If you do, go and love this malt. Meanwhile for me, it’s too much. There is not that much of peat as there is vanilla on the nose. It is quite expectedly accompanied by dried fruit, and it’s strong. Therefore, I got an impression of specifically prunes. And, of course, standard Ardeg’s peat. All of these aromas don’t intertwine between each other — they exist separately — instantly giving away its young age. Here, it would be better, if matured longer.
Taste confirms our age deduction: nothing round here — however, are we expecting that from a 54.2% strong non age-statement Islay whisky? I definitely don’t. Yes, it is phenolic — be welcomed to enjoy a destruction of your mouth sensors. There is just a hint of sweetness, which I was pleased with, as aroma made me preparing for something speysidely luscious.
The finish is strong but short: it neither burn you tongue for a long time nor it sticks with any particular flavour to your mouth. And I don’t think it’s bad.
From what I’ve tasted in Ardbeg Uigeadail sherry influenced islay whisky is like ballerinas dancing to metal. It may be fun, but if you are a lover of this specific genre. Excuse me, but I am appreciator of a good old ballet.
Excess of Vanilla, typical peat, quite strong prunes.
Phenolic, very sharp (unrounded), with a hint of sweetness.
Strong and short, without any particular taste staying in your mouth.
Sweet at first then the smoke appears.
Very subtile
Sweetness, treacle, smoke, peat
More smoke appears
Aroma: viel Lagerfeuerrauch, leicht fruchtig und süß, etwas Tabak, etwas Sherry und Gras
Geschmack: sehr rauchig, leicht süß, etwas Würze und Eiche, ölig
Abgang: viel Rauch, Malz, Eiche, kaum süß, leicht würzig
Fazit: Schönes Ding! Find ihn noch ne gute Schippe besser als den Ardbeg Ten. Richtig voll im Mund mit geilem Rauch und kommt mit super Abgang. Ist nicht der komplexeste aber ich liebe den geilen Rauch einfach :-)
very thick, oily strong taste of smoke. The most thickest oily smoke and peated whisky which was made.
Nothing but peat and smokiness
Burning
Nie tak dymna, jak się spodziewałem, nie tak smolista, język wykręcająca. Ale wyśmienita. Finisz w beczkach po sherry powoduje, że odbieram ją w smaku jak mariaż Islay że Speyside. I nie wypada to źle. Znałazlem wiele skrajnych opinii o Uigeadail, ale warto samemu wyrobić sobie własną opinię. A moja jest na tak.
Peat, little smoke, but hidden behind rich fruit aroma, I find here plums, caramel. Drop of water brings more sweetness, dark fruits, berries in pie.
Smoked peat, dry red fruits (dry plums first, but there are other fruits definitely), honey, rasins. Mouthwater. There is some bacon as well.
Long, peated, very pleasant. Warming (influence of alc), but in a very good way. My wife feels ash in the end. I'm not, but we are tasteing together, so it's fair to note differences.
Smokey, peaty and with a depth of sweetness. lovely stuff
As soon as you pour it in the glass the peat smoke hits you in the face. Within a minute the intensity fades off and the malt shines through. For a higher ABV peated, it really is tame. The funky bandaid is not prevalent here. Sweet young malt, typical bourbon, and sherry notes come to the forefront after 10 minutes in the glass. The mouth feel is intense and coating. Moderate phynolics soak in with deep malty sweetness then fades to dry oaky smoke. There is a very slight briney seashore note. Aftertaste is earthy, smoky with a dry bourbon oak.
N: sweet molasses, toffee, medium campfire smoke, salt

smoky
smoke, peat, sea spray. just a rich salty pungent elixir. favorite islay
The gossip is true, this is a legendary whisky! Complex with several layers. Has the smoke of the Ten but has also 1-2 additional layers like savoury tones (tobacco leaves, cacao, nuts etc) and Berry sweetness.
Earthy smoke, but then fruity and Sherry sweetness. Malty. Espresso, cacao, fresh oak. Aromatic, complex whisky.
Sweet, spicy and then smoky. With few drops of water it opens up and you get this nice vanilla, fresh oak and malty body. Some heat due to the high ABV.
The nose and palate come through completely. Long, warm, several layers.
Top smokey and peated, high alcohol percentage
my go to
The best whisky ever. Not for starters.
It smells like. I wan t more.
n: peat, smoke, fruity, fresh tobacco, bacon, raisins, sweet

a: looong after taste - beatufull sweet and sherry

low temperature smoke, sweet-smokey, peat, pepper, a bit sherry
a lot of peat, sweet, buttery, honey, tobacco, espresso, Sherry, mourh-filling foam, beech wood bacon smoke
smoked bacon, peaty, sweet (honey), dry
Fiery and spicy, cinnamon on the top of the pallet, oil and ginger flavours at the centre. The peat and smoke are contained, providing earthy depth and a bitter bottom note. The after taste is long, warming. Exceptionally well-balanced, diverse and satisfying. A must-taste.
Complex, smoke and peat, hay, polish, nutmeg
Spicey, hot, cinnamon, ginger, oil, smoke and peat
Warm, flickering yet mellow. Very more-ish
Si vous aimez le goût tourbé, ce Whisky est excellent!!! L’un des meilleurs dans son genre!
charcoal smokiness, well balanced and perfectly peaty, a way better than Ten, even though I am personally fun of Laphroaig, I'll definitively buy this one again
First nose quite sharp, suggests the use of water. However sweet and slightly peated, also in taste. With a warm long and slightly bitter finish. At the same time also a refreshing note before that. Water brings out the sweet first, followed by some salt and still alcohol.
How longer open, they better the Taste. Mixed with little bit water. Its a explosion in the mouth.
BBQ peat. Complex. But only for heavy peat lovers.
Peat. Smoke. Raisin. BBQ
Peat. Strong BBQ. subtle dark fruits. Malt. Smoke.
Oily. Smoke.
I find it hard to distinct flavors behind the thick layer of peat smoke. not bad though every now and then
Another great find at a local store... it's your typical ArdBerg, if you like peat and smoke... this is the one for you.
peat and smoke all day
sweet at first then turnd to instant smoke
smoldering smoke that lingers
Heavyweight.
Lots of smoke, notes of bacon, some peat.
Ein außergewöhnlicher Whisky in Fassstärke. Für Freunde der rauchigen Single Malt ein must-have. Eben ein typischer Islay...
Was hoping to enjoy this more. it's a nice amount of peat, but something about it feels sharp and sour. not in a alcohol heat way, but it's a bit bitter. Smells wonderful though.
raskasta savua ja turvetta. loppu kuiva, kevyesti makea.
Starker Raucher, der trotzdem Süße und Frucht zeigt. Davon allerdings mehr in der Nase als im Mund. Im Geschmack kommen dann auch Holz, Würze stärker dazu.
Erst: viel Rauch. Dennoch viel Süße und Frucht. Evtl. Schokolade, Birne, leichte Gewürze
Nüsse, Wein, etwas Karamell. Rauch. Viel Speichelfluss, sehr angenehm, trotz Stärke, Holz.
Wird schnell schwächer an Aromen. Rauch bleibt länger. Evtl. Malz/Getreide.
big smell, spicy warm and very smoky, flavorful but a bit burned. gently at the and.
Tja, ganz einfach aber auch schwer zu beschreiben...
Ardbegtypische Süße und wunderbarer Torfrauch, der vom Sherryfass etwas im Zaun gehalten wird, bilden das Herzstück. Der Rauch hält sich herrlich lange und vermittelt Wohligkeitsgefühl! Die 54% sind perfekt für diesen Ardbeg!
aards,olieachtig,mooie balans can turf en rook
vax, smoke, too much burn
Superb
Smoky and sweet. I personally prefer the 10.
beautiful! one of my favorites in my collection. oily, sweet, peaty, earthy, intense. this is ardbeg at their best.
Nose: Sherry sweet smoke. Slight fruit pie? So inviting.
Mouth: So much softer than corry. More rounded by the sherry. Smoked meat with sweet bbq sauce. Salt and pepper.
Finish: Long and spicey, not as hot as corry. Delicious
Nice peated...
Full body, sweet, spicy & smoky. Not too overpowering. Very easy to drink
Nose: intense, deep, and complex...
smoke, peat, cocoa, molasses toffee, citrus honey
Palate: full bodied and viscous, sweet, toffee, honey, roasted oranges, very peaty and smoky
Finish: long and complex, sweet and smoky, sea salt and vanilla caramel
Overall: 5 star scotch
Exceptional, peaty, smoky and spicy. Fantastic depth and length

Big peat and earthy. Definitely a powerhouse.
ash. peat. fruity
sweet. iodine. peat.
smoke. ash. medicinal. spice.
One of the best bangs for the buck.
Salty sweet sherried vanilla, slight smoke
Meat n peat, oak, pepper, smokey oily mouthfeel
Long, dry, salt and pepper, more intense then most.
Very smokey with much taste of wood Who I will guess is oak? A bit spicy and little tiny bit of sour. Nice overall and lovely of you want to make a smokey cocktail.
Hugely smokey, but not medicinal. No burn from the high proof. While it starts with peat and fresh grass, both the nose and taste finish sweet and fruity. It's very unique, and worth the price.
Complex, sweet, spice, smoke and a long finish. Very interesting and delicious whisky, but haven't decided if it's worth the retail price in Canada. Best with a little water.
Orange, ginger, smoke, sweetness, hay
Sweet cream, pepper, oak
Long, walnut, sweet, dry, hint of tobacco
Un bon peat avec une belle complexité.
as peaty as it comes!
Nice smoke and peaty flavours, with a good finish. One of the best.
A smokey initial punch, followed by sherry notes, which aren't overly sweet, rounding out with a lingering mild sweet taste.
Nice and complex. Pure joy.
ashes, lemon, malt, old lady's closet, water adds sherry notes - dried fruit and raisins, vanilla and fudge appearing later on
citrus, sweet lemon drops, all covered in ashy smoke, salty sea water
long ... sweet and sour turning into longlasting ashy aftertaste
high proof yet smooth and Smokey sweetness, sweeter & richer than Ardbeg 10
Peat smoke, BandAid brand adhesive strip, iodine
Smoke, oak, more BandAid, then sweetness, raisins
Peat Smoke, BandAid, anise
maybe the most intensely flavoured whisky I've ever tasted.
campfire smoke, sweetness, some sherry, seaweed
bbq meat, smoke, deep rich mouthfeel, sweet sherry, dark fruits, malt
sweetness and smoke lingers
Many strong flavors, but they're all well balanced. Strong, peaty nose. Smoke and caramel flavor. Peaty finish.
Strong nose, lots of peat.
So much peat, with sugar, caramel and smoke.
Smoke and caramel, giving way to peat and pepper.
Einer meiner Lieblinge

Sweet, smokey and peaty. Great stuff. Awesome nose.
very smoky on the nose. very complex and smooth on the taste.
fruchtig im Mund mit feibem Rauch und einem unterschwelligen Alkoholgeschmack der sich im Mund unten sammelt und langsam aufsteigt
peaty and smoky smell, with lots behind. herbal, bandaid, hospital smell, old wood and something difficult to catch. do you know how smell od wooden church? exactly like this.
taste is amazingly complex. sour and sweet, herbal notes woody and smoky like campfire smoke.
it is one of my favourite
Wonderful dram. Nice smoke. Sweet notes. Nice long finish. Few drops of water makes the sweet notes come out. Surprised that at 54% ABV, the alcohol is not hard on the nose or on the palette. I will be stocking this whisky for sure.
Sweet taste with plenty of peat and smoke aromas. More gentle than the 10 years, it's a lovely malt!
Waves of woodsmoke racing past fruity aromas to wrstle in the nose, while some meaty salinity slips by. Rich dried fuits on the tongue on first approach, before immense smoke starts rushing in, which in turn fades away to long, numbing TCP on the tongue at the finish
Top whisky. Needs water
Spirity and oaky. Needs a lot of time in the glass. Subtle sherry after time
Good balance of sweet and smokey. Sherry notes are subtle.
very smokey and peaty, but very well rounded and well tasting!
such a well rounded smokey/fruity baseball bat to the face
Smoked meats/bacon. Stay away if you are not a fan of smoke/peat. Otherwise a fun dram.
Smoked ham/bacon. hints of maple and brine
Pronounced savoury smoke but relatively smooth conpared to other peated Islay. Friendly for a 54%ABV
Goes for a while.
The most interesting whisky i've drunk so far. Peat and smoke aroma is strong but the taste is delicious, rounded (smooth?) if i can say that.
This is really good. After purchasing a bottle, I immediately had to buy another. One of the most intense, and so full of flavour.
Nose: orange, chocolate, fruit, smoke, vanilla
Body: vanilla, cask strength, toffee,
Finish: smoke, lengthy, lingering, warming
amazing peat up front with smoke and raisins with honey and other dark fruits in the middle. long smoke and pepper finish
balanced peat and sherry. not as smokey.
sherry ,peat, smokey
Solid Peaty Scotch with some Sherry influence.
smoke, iodine, salt, peat
smoke, vanilla, spice, coffee, oak
long, smooth very little alchohol bite
The peat kicks in like a freight train ar first but smooths out quickly to a really pleasant finish. May not be for everyones taste but this dram packs a punch and takes you straight to the seaside with the palate.
A touch of water really helps to bring the complexities to the surface, however muddled. I struggle with this whisky neat, much prefering the Corryvreckan.
Concentration and position play a large part in exploring the flavours. The sherries finish is present at the tip of the tongue very briefly. Subtle sweet elements show but the earthy smoke core is prominent throughout. An intriguing dram.
Dark cherries, sherry, peat, smoke, cinnamon, walnut, alcohol kick.
Fleeting sweet berries on the tip of the tongue. Malt. A hard to pin down complexity; barley, cinnamon, honey, cracked black pepper. Thick smoke and tar build into the finish.
A long smooth smoke, cracked pepper. Sweet trace.
Best deal whisky, cause it delivers so much flavour and energy for really reasonable money. Wonderful dark juice.
Flavour bomb exploding in front of my nose. One of the most exciting whiskies!! Much smoke, but woodsmoke and only very few iodine. Polished leather and old diesel. Also much juice orange coming up.
Warm, oily, mouth filling. Dark sweetness and much smoke. Bacon, spices, sandalwood, BBQ sauce. Very wild.
Long, warming, smoky and a bit salty. Beautiful end of a wonderful dram.
Great Ardbeg with tar, peat, seaweed, polish, sherry, sweetness, caramel. Oily on the tongue. However I prefer the Corryvreckan where I think the peat is more integrated. But that is criticism on a high level.
very refreshing, super smooth for such a high proof scotch. would buy again.
Nose
sweet at first, almost cognac-y, followed by peat, smoke and mineral and medicinal notes. adding water mellows it out, with the sweet tones more accentuated (vanilla and some chocolate)
Taste
The nose continues after a sweet arrival, and developing into more smoke and peat, with even minty touches and a bit of wood
Finish
long, very long even, with obviously smoke leading the way, with a final finish in dry notes with smoked nuts. Adding water twists up the finish in a weird way and disturbed the balance somewhat.
Comments
versatile, complex and powerful, with subtle nuances if you give it the time it takes to get passed the obvious peat and smoke. So much more than just a peatbomb. Even at a very respectable 54,2% ABV it doesn't really need water to shine like the star it is! 88/100
smoke and peat with a hint of sweet on the end
deep smoke. bbq sweetness
long finish

It's a backyard barbeque in a bottle, honey, soot, malt. reminds of glazed ribs.

until now the best whisky for me
A challenge to all the senses. Unbelievable!
Ich mag gerne rauchige Whisky und Sherry gelagerte Whisky. Dieser Whisky vereint beides sehr harmonisch.
Ich hätte mir etwas mehr Rauch erwartet. Nach ein paar Mal riechen verschwindet der Rauch fast komplett und der Sherry kommt deutlich in den Vordergrund.
Im Mund ist der Rauch dann aber sofort wieder da. Trotz dem hohen Alkoholgehalt sehr angenehm zu trinken. Man muss kein Wasser verwenden, wenn man es trotzdem tut kommt die Fruchtigkeit vom Sherry immer weiter in den Vordergrund.
Dieser Whisky hat es damit momentan zu meinem Lieblingswhisky geschafft.
Für den Preis zu wenig Highlight
Torf, Holz, Tannenzapfen, verregneter Wald
Sherry-Süße eher zu Beginn; im weiteren Verlauf keine Ausreißer; keine Highlights
Schärfe im Abgang
der kann was ! leider NAS
süße, speckigkeit, dezenter Sherry, leichte maritime Noten
anfangs süße, dann pfeffrigkeit , leichte Bitterkeit wie Espresso, leichter Tabak Geschmack, dezenter Rauch
prickeln bleibt , dezente angenehme Richtigkeit Bleibt , leichte bitterkeit
Einer der besten Whiskys am Markt.
Both the nose and palate are pleasantly peaty, smoky and sweet; smooth going down despite high abv. Finish has some bitterness on the backend but overall an enjoyable dram.
Suurepärane, magus ja turbane.
The first release of the Uigeadail was definitely one of the best drams I’ve ever tasted. It has gotten at bit less oily for every bottling they’ve done.. but still in my top 10.
Round, and full,outlaw in leather jacket,dark and strong character,must have on the shelf..with water open fruity notes but with still enough smoke and peatiness
Strong peat and smoke, a little leathery bitterness and then some sweetness and dried red fruits
Een uitbreiding van de 10 jaar op alle vlakken. Heerlijke lange afdronk
A chocolate taste, with raisin and leather notes. A lot of peat, but not enough to overwhelm the palate.
sweet, Smoky, peaty and full of tasty raisin notes. absolutely fantastic when gently warmed
very well balanced between the sherried notes and the same strong meaty peat as the Corryvreckan.
clearly sherried, with notes of raising, but not too sweet. also leather and tobacco in there. ends with lilac
starts with the sherried raisin notes, before moving through rich malt, mushroom/leather funkiness, and even some orange bitterness.
very nice, coffee notes commingle with the same barbeque ribs notes I loved in the Corryvreckan
Totally unique. Very peaty, but balanced: it's actually quite sweet with many floral flavours and a bit of spice. Not so smooth, but really dense and clingy, almost dry. Immense finish, like a smoking gun barrel. Definitely an acquired taste, this is one to try with a cleansed palate and fully savoured. If you're a fan of peat, you have to try it. I'm a big fan of Islay whiskies and this may be my favourite whisky of all.
Bonfire, sea mist, drying oak, pine.
12-gauge, fig, raisin, honey, salt
Clinging ash and embers. The peat stays longer than the dried fruit.
really good, not great. nice peat but not as complex as I was expecting.
Heerlijke whisky
What a pleasant smell fills the room at bottle opening. A full medicinal smell with iodine, peat and red fruit.
Very sweet and very complex.
Mound is covered with herbal sweet oil with alcohol in the back.
The taste is a complex combination of herbs, fire, pepper, dried fruit, licorice and salt.
What a tremendous whisky this is.
90 points overall.
Lightly smokey and full of rich fruitcake and spices
Treacle, raisins and smoke
Slightly smokey with rich fruitcake
Long and smokey with coffee and raisin
very smoky just as you might expect from this Islay peatmonster. A bit sweet and smooth finish. 54% but so easy to drink. love it!
excellent
tastes like drinking campfire.. but the smoothest campfire I have ever tasted.
Great Islay whisky with fantastic smoky flavor.

Very peaty, bold, and smoky, the type of whisky that lovers of Islay long for. If not for the price, it might edge out Laphroaig as my favorite whisky.
very peaty. great smoke. love it
Quite wonderful Islay whisky. Strong taste of smoke and peat but smooth. With very long aftertaste.
one of my all time favorites
Lots of smoke and peat on the nose but still some sweetness of over-ripe bananas and christmas fruit cake. Very oily smooth entry in the mouth with lots of peatiness initially which then develops into coconut and steamed fish. Lingering pleasant flavourful finish! Amazing all throughout!
