Ardbeg Uigeadail Re-Review (Is This A Peated Sherry Bomb?)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2020
- We go back in time to re-review a bottle that made a big splash on our scotch journey. Back in 2016 we tried this bottle for the first time and was blown away....you might say frightened as well. In 2020, we take a trip back and get it another shot to see how we like it now.

When I have a peated whisky , my wife complaints that I smell like a bonfire! :-) I'm a real peathead, my first whisky was a peated one, and I loved it! Hope to taste the Octomore 1 day!
Great re-review guys! I bought this bottle after watching your Ardbeg line-up. Excellent dram!
Worth every penny. Approaches Dark Cove and Super Nova greatness at a fraction of the price IMO.
Great review guys..one of yer best.I have ordered this for my birthday..May 3rd..cant wait!🎂🥃🥃🥃😃😃
Nice re-review, boys. I love Oogie. It's my favorite of the core range for sure.
I love this bottle. More than I should. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Cheers men!
This is possibly my new favourite whiskey, luv how smooth it is at 54.2. Haven't tried it with water because I like it neat so much but will try a drop or 2 at some point just to see. Looking forward to trying the Corry some day!! Great review 👌🥃🥃
Nice review guys. It's hard not to like Uigeadail. Just a few things to add here. I'm pretty sure that Rachel Barrie was the master blender at Glenmorangie at the time that Ardbeg was bought by Glenmo in '97. She helped in the creation of Uigeadail back in 2003. In 2009 it won WOTY in The Whisky Bible. Mickey Heads said that Uigeadail is a vatting of oloroso casks and 1st & 2nd fill bourbon barrels done about 4-5 times a year. The ratio is 15-20% oloroso sherry wood in the vatting. Also, I think it's important to check the bottling date. The older bottling dates seem to be a little bit better than current ones. It's assumed that they were using much older casks back a few years ago. On a side note, you should get your hands on a 2020 Sanaig. It's better than the current Oogie imo....and more sherried. ABV is lower but it's cheaper :). Cheers fellas!
Definitely one of my favourite drams, always a bottle sitting in the kitchen. One of them whiskys that opens up with a few drops of water. I love the medicinal (TCP) tastes, slight smoke not as much as the 10 year old. But the sherry punch and super long finish. Slight grassy hay, sweet tobacco tastes going on. Great dram. Much love from Scotland ✌🥃
I was at a whiskey bar in Downtown San Diego when I was watching this review. You guys convinced me to order one while watching. Dobt regret it. It's a close second to Lagavulin 16 for me.
Just picked up a bottle of this from Total Wine here in Redondo Beach, CA for $74. Smoky, sherry, delicious goodness.
I bought a bottle of this last year for $68, and now that bottle is almost empty, but it costs about $80 to replace it.
I have to try this ASAP, I'm slowly working my way through my scotch journey. A peated sherry bomb sounds like heaven to me.
To me this is about 80% on the way to dark cove which is my favorite...love it
I love Sherry and Laphroaig, and this Ardbeg is on my short list. I revisited a 2017 Lagavulin 12 and it buried the Leapfrog deep. So my minds thinks--try the Uigeadail or get the last Lag in the local shelf.
Picked up the Wee Beastie Thursday night, just on the neck pour, just seems like a young 10. Have some Ardbeg 10 to compare it with after the Wee Beastie has sat around for awhile.
I started trying peat with the Lagavulin 8 and quickly grew to love that expression, very quickly, and I fell in love with Lagavulin 16. Then I got to this outstanding Ardbeg expression and I truly love this complex profile. I love the flavours I am picking up from the bourbon and sherry casks and I get leather, walnuts, cloves and a definitely earthy quality. There is a citrus element that is wonderful but it's balanced and more gentle. It's not too strong. I can't discern whether I am smelling pipe smoke or cigar smoke (I am erring towards pipe smoke!) but it's there for me on the scent. It's a deal $$ IMO and absolutely delicious for me. Ardbeg has gone down a bit in the past couple of years and I miss the expressions of a few years ago but it's always welcome and is always on my bar and my husband's section the bar! Ardbeg v Lagavulin? I always come back to Lagavulin as a super core range of single malt scotch that I have to have but Ardbeg puts out some terrific heavily peated scotch and it will always be one of my favourites as well! Being in Canada I am used to much higher prices for alcohol as taxes are higher. I am happy to pay the prices for good quality whisky! I give this beauty a 3.5 but I wouldn't add water. Cheers!
Awesome re review guys! I don’t feel like oogie is quite as good as it use to be but it is still such a classic🙂🥃
Find this bottle to have changed significantly over the past few years. The whisky prior to the bottling change(around 2018) was much richer in sherry. By no means a batch snob as I rarely notice much of any difference between batches but have had a few bottles since the change and the current Uigeadail is a different beast. Much more peat dominant and feels younger. Hoping future years get better.
I bought my first Ardbeg today and it’s the Uigeadail. It’s amazing! I’m a huge Lagavulin 16 fan, I enjoy Laphroaig 10, and I still need to try Ardbeg 10. But this Ardbeg Uigeadail is superb.
