Ardbeg An Oa Whisky Review: A Smoky Single Malt

[@t.sheppard5940]

Prescott should have a show on Travel Channel, sneaking into empty houses around the world, rating local fare. I'd watch that show.

[@nicolebogda1482]

OMG YES! Think “An Idiot Abroad” meets Benedict Cumberbatch. SOMEONE CONTACT RICKY GERVAIS! Or Benedict. ….Russell Crowe? He did that one film on a vineyard in Italy or France, someplace. PV3, DO IT!

RIP Phineas. You seemed like a good friend for PV3. Sad to hear of your passing.

[@NerdsIAB]

You know it's a good one when he doesn't just take one complete sip but goes for two before the spit

[@joogergo1]

The very first sip usually only stings and has little flavour, at least to me, so can't really analyse flavours in the first sip

[@laurusschluep7464]

I miss the early videos where he went through 80% of the bottle and there was genuine drunkenness. On the other hand, glad it worked out for him and he doesn't have to drink to forget he's in someone else's kitchen, drinking someone else's whiskey.

[@spencerharvey9649]

Well now that you did Ardbeg, I’d love to hear your review of Lagavulin 16. You are by far the most entertaining spirit reviewer on KZbin!

[@TheArkTheArkTheArk]

Finally a beverage I’ve actually had and enjoyed. Ardbeg is a bit like having a campfire in your mouth, both in terms of smokiness and burning sensation, but boy is it flavorful.

[@jpthomas68]

On a tour of Islay distilleries, my 18 yo daughter sampled six different Scotches. She described the taste of all as "fire-dirt". I thought, she's not wrong. I did buy her a Laphroaig for her 21st, her own bottle of fire-dirt.

[@LaurencePlays]

Mmmm, yes - Ardbeg is my personal favourite, although I often drink Laphroaig too as it's easier to get hold of and usually about half the price! Bowmore is also a good Islay if you're on a budget - and Sainsburys have an Islay Blend which is surprisingly enjoyable.

[@GOLFIN0530]

The malorts shoutout was subtle…yet appreciated 😂

[@bimscutney1242]

Finally. The good stuff! I was gonna say if he swish and spit that whisky I was going to be disturbed. Ardbeg is absolutely delicious.

I'm surprised the comments aren't already filled with whiskey peeps tearing you up for pronouncing islay the wrong way.

[@stephenbrizie5082]

In case people do want to know, the correct way to pronounce it is eye-luh. Also, the appropriate response to pretentious whiskey peeps putting people down is to fart in their glencarin without explanation. Whiskey is for enjoying, not for flexing.

[@Cadwaladr]

@@stephenbrizie5082 I've heard it pronounced both "eye-luh" and "eye-lay" by two different Scottish people.

[@nickgq]

I think it's because of the plea to build him and each other up with our comments. At this point I would hope we all feel for the man. He needs kind words in this hour and we can nitpick him later, or let Abby do that.

Awwww We love you PV3!!! Thank you for not spitting (mostly) most of that amazing scotch. You make me laugh and bring me joy! You should get some sort of alcohol services where we can buy you bottles! You can use a Post Office as a delivery point and then sell it out of your car! After you review it, that is!

[@spackle9999]

Ardbeg is a little tough for the casual drinker. Honestly, it's a bit much for me and I love scotch whisky. I'm a Laphroig man, myself. Still a strong, peated whiskey, but just a little smoother.

[@michaelb1761]

Laphroaig 10 was my first and still the best, or at least best value. Ardbeg Uigdeail (or however it is spelled) is pretty dang good but twice as expensive as Laphroaig 10.

[@MaxSeidel1]

To each their own, but whisky noobs, please don´t listen to this person here. Laphroig 10 is probably the heaviest of the entry level Islay scotch.

[@fishguy911]

To be fair, An Oa is the least peat forward Ardbeg in its core range.

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Good to know. I recently sipped Red Breast Irish Pot Still for the first time, and the flavor was so persistent and imposing it was scary, but then again I’m a red wine guy, not spirits

[@fishguy911]

@@wallacegrommet9343, Redbreast is a completely unpleated whiskey and pot stilled. It’s very different from a peated Islay scotch.
