Ardbeg An Oa Description The latest addition to the Ardbeg range, An Oa takes its name from the Mull of Oa, one of the most untamed parts of Islay with cliffs towering over the tempestuous Atlantic Ocean on one side and the calm shelter of the southern coast on the other. The contrast is reflected in the liquid, marrying Pedro Ximenez sweetness, virgin charred oak spice and a high proportion of ex-bourbon casks giving an intense hallmark Ardbeg flavour.Bottled at 46.6% abv without chill filtration, the nose is subtly smoky with creamy toffee and aniseed atop fruity peach and banana notes. The palate is smooth and creamy with orange chocolate, treacle, smoky tea leaves and sweet spices. Gentle aniseed and hickory linger with subtle smoke on the finish.
