Uigeadail is really a magnificent dram, as most people it's my favorite Ardbeg

[@wp2746]

Since 2013 it’s not been entirely the same as older bottlings, but it’s right up there.

[@ilikejelloyay208]

I am not big on the Islays but Uigedal will always be in my collection. Absolutely a masterpiece.

[@DoctorAkikoFukuwara]

I am a Japanese girl living in Scotland. This is by far and away my favourite whisky from my favourite distillery. So deep and complex. A real slow sipper by an open fire with great company. Slainte mhath and Kanpai

[@madeintheusa9744]

That's awesome thank you! 😁

[@deeshmond]

Awesome! Hope you’re enjoying your time here in the UK!

[@peakproofuk]

A great whiskey and Thornbridge! You’re a winner.

[@stormshadow2012]

Uigeadail is the king and my favourite whiskey amongst all. The smoky peat is so pleasantly overwhelming, it humbles the best of us😍

[@lakevacm]

My foray into Scotch started with a Glenfiddich 18, then a Dalwhinnie 15, followed by Tamnavulin double cask, and of course, your product, Ardbeg Uigeadail. The Ardbeg is my favorite by a considerable measure.

[@zoeyredmond5501]

I didn’t know how much I could enjoy scotch until I had this, it’s amazingly complex and delicious.

[@ez4086]

Love this dram.. hands down my fave Islay. Just wish they upped the abv to 60%+ 😂

[@kentwong3818]

One of my favorites. I like it neat or just a splash of spring water. Tried it with one ice cube once....I don't recommend ice haha.

[@jorgebohyn]

Just bought a bottle of Uigeadail and I really like it!

[@utsteinproductions]

Caol Ila 12 was my first foray into peat, this was my second. Instantly fell in love after the first sip.

[@andreamilesi3827]

Really really helpful tastings!! Thank You so much

[@Masterofmalt]

Thanks Andrea! Glad you enjoyed. :)

[@orion2250]

A local distiller let me try a dram of Corryvrekan…I was entranced..need to try this

[@jameseverett9035]

My favourite ever Whisky with Corryvreckan from the best the one and only King of Distilleries Ardbeg

[@StrangeSwag]

anyone have an idea what glass he’s using?

[@hazzer_j]

Uigeadail is my favourite whisky 60-70% of the time... 100% of the time 😂

[@ursamines7643]

My favorite Ardbeg! Honey baked ham for sure. Coming from the US, 54.2 is not a high proof.

[@tross1587]

54.2 % abv is 108.4 proof.

[@ursamines7643]

@@tross1587 yep I buggered that one up. The whisky is still not super high proof

[@Bossanovawitcha]

compared to cask bourbon he is right.. but islay more umami bang for proof buck

[@ursamines7643]

@@Bossanovawitcha agreed. Still a favorite pour I have at least once a week

[@Bossanovawitcha]

@@ursamines7643 just hit some rare breed 58% tonite after highland park sm 15 haha then wee beastie to bring home…. tomorrow me is rekt but palate expanded 😂

[@joeappleton6849]

Ardbeg is Smokey and sweetie

[@richardgillette5759]

smells like bacon and tastes better

[@od40k77]

Uigeadail is one of my favorite Scotches but for crying out loud stop already with the crazy adjectives to describe flavors you think are in the scotch. I always hate it when supposedly experts describe a spirit and start vomiting adjectives like coffee, cinnamon, pepper, raisins, strawberries, oranges, peppermint, chocolate, etc. It’s like we all know that crap is BS. Just stick to what’s really there and don’t start making up crap. You want to talk about notes of Sherry, great. Smokiness, great. Save us the rest of the BS please.
