Ardbeg Uigeadail 1993 Bottled in 2004

This very rare Ardbeg Uigeadail 1993 Bottled in 2004 is a vatting of 1993 Ardbeg matured in bourbon barrels and many older sherry casks.

The older casks bring luscious, sweet, raisiny tones to the unique Ardbeg taste.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: The undiluted nose is deep and rounded chocolate caramels and barley sugar combine with dates, raisins and smooth sherry notes. Later, you find leather and linseed oil.
With water the sweetness gives way to malted honeycomb, with flowering currants emerging through the smokey sweetness of a well fired fruit pudding.

Palate:Sweet, chewy and oily with a silky mouth-feel, the flavour is initially sweet, revealing fruit cake and treacle. This is followed by smoked, barbecued or honey roast food with the slightest hint of olives.

Finish: Long, both sweet and dry with honey, treacle and a trace of lint.
