Useful Information
If you are on the south coast road of the "Kildalton Shore" from Port Ellen to the Kildalton Cross, you will inevitably find yourself at the gates of the Ardbeg distillery. It is named after the Gaelic expression for "small hill", Taigh - stail Àirde Beaga. The Ardbeg brand Wisheys are known for their intense, aromatic – smoky and peaty notes. The statement to describe the Ardbeg whiskeys as "heavily peated" is not wrong, but still too "very simplistic". The whiskeys of the neighboring distilleries Laphroaig and Lagavulin are peated about the same as those of Caol Ila and yet the smoky notes are very different in all of them. This begs the question of why? This is largely due to the different distillation processes. The tube that connects the gooseneck of the spirit still with its belly guides the condensed liquid back into the still. This reflux not only increases the complexity of the brand, it also makes it lighter because the vapor gets more copper contact. The result of this process is simple, "sweetness". In addition, the fermentation period was extended. Short fermentation times give a brand a sharp smoky note, while a long fermentation process makes it significantly creamier and contains more acid.
Flavors
The name Uigeadail comes from the lake of the same name, from which the Ardbeg distillery gets its peaty water. After the maturation process in bourbon and sherry barrels, it is not cold filtered and at barrel strength with 54.2% vol. bottled. The Uigeadail can confidently be called Ardbeg in its most massive form. In the nose it surprises with a ripe and smoky note, as well as a concentrated sweetness, which is composed of dark fruits, christmas cake, floral notes, fresh sea air, oily leather up to notes of chocolate and raisins. In terms of taste, it is initially cautious on the palate, but this quickly changes to expansive and elemental, where it unfolds its full strength and full-bodied texture. This convinces with a fascinating balance between sweet sherry, malt, peat, winter spices and deep smoky flvors, which are repeatedly broken through by the alcohol. The astonishingly long finish with deep mocha, raisins, light peat and aromatic smoke notes rounds off the enjoyment.

Die Brennerei der Familie Wills hält in besonderer Weise die Fahne der Tradition hoch. 2005 belebte sie die das ursprüngliche „Farm Distilling“ wieder, verwendet ausschließlich Gerste und Torf aus dem unmittelbaren Umland. So nachhaltig kann Traditionsbewusstsein aussehen!
Aromen
Schon in der Nase gibt sich dieser tolle Malt verblüffend sanft, ohne aber den wilden Charakter seiner Heimat zu verleugnen. Die typischen mineralisch-rauchigen Noten wirken weich, ergänzt von zartem Zitrusduft und reifer Fruchtsüße. Diese Eindrücke setzen sich am Gaumen in intensiverer Form fort – hier treten feine Gewürzfacetten ebenso hinzu wie die anregende Adstringenz des Eichenfasses. Der Fruchtgeschmack lässt glatt an gebackene Bananen denken. Auch im langen Abgang bewahrt der edle Brand seine perfekte Ausgewogenheit im harmonischen Spiel von pikanten, lieblich-süßen und Islay-typischen archaischen Noten. Ein Whisky mit markantem eigenem Charakter!

The current edition of the limited vintage bottlings easily maintains the top level of its predecessors - and is thus a very hot tip for fans of intense, full-bodied Islay single malts! You can taste the minimum 9-year maturation in bourbon and sherry casks.
Flavours
With all the power and depth of flavour that the 50% behemoth naturally possesses, it nevertheless reveals itself to be strikingly delicate and fragrant on the nose, with honey sweetness and floral notes. On the palate, the bewitching impression continues seamlessly. Aromas of ripe and dried fruits - plums, apricots, dried dates - dominate at first, but are visibly complemented by more tart facets. Leathery astringency is just as noticeable as the piquant "zing" of oriental spices. The initial fruitiness remains in the finish, but the flavour becomes more and more complex - toasty, "umami" and with the typical peat accents, but also fine acidity, the grenade ends.

Wissenswertes
Keine künstliche Farbe, keine Kühlfiltrierung – so ursprünglich und unverfälscht wie die Herstellung dieses verblüffend preiswerten Boliden ist auch sein Geschmack. Die Reifungszeit in Oloroso-Fässern ist geheim, die Top-Qualität aber weithin bekannt.
Aroma
Die markante Würze schon in der Nase verwundert angesichts der 60 Umdrehungen nicht, wohl aber die Sanftheit des Bouquets. Der Duft von Dörrobst und gelben Früchten federn die Intensität ab. Im Mundraum setzt sich dieser Eindruck in gesteigerter Form fort: Reifes Obst und Rosinen ergänzen sich vorzüglich mit ätherischeren, auch fein mineralischen Zitrusnoten und pikantem Gewürzgeschmack. Über allem schwebt die profunde Holzigkeit der eichenen Sherryfässer, abgefedert von subtiler herbaler Frische. Der weiche Abgang, dominiert von den fruchtigen Geschmackskomponenten, grenzt angesichts der Fassstärke an ein Wunder.

Worth knowing
Like other distilleries, Talisker first had to survive a series of fire disasters before it was able to become the most popular distillery in the region. Their "signature" product and bestseller is appropriately named after them.
Aroma
The aroma of this single malt is incredibly multifaceted, with fully ripe fruit tones of citrus and tropical fruits. But also the characteristic Skye aromas, somewhat reminiscent of milder Islays, are immediately present and remain so on the palate: peat and smoke, combined with a salty-mineral sea scent. But the whisky also has a good dose of pleasant honey/caramel sweetness. The spicy nuances take hold more and more, but the ravishing fruitiness is permanently present - until the never-ending finish. Absolutely balanced!
