Ardbeg 10 vs Uigeadail vs Corryvreckan

Ardbeg Ten Years Old is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex single malt of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance. Named World Whisky of the Year in 2008.
Non chill-filtered with a strength of 46% ABV.
Uigeadail
In 2009, Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible named Ardbeg Uigeadail ‘World Whisky of the Year’ - in praise of its “utter silky brilliance” and “complexity on a level only a handful of distilleries in the world can even dream of reaching.”
Pronounced ‘Oog-a-dal’, it’s a special vatting that marries Ardbeg’s traditional deep, smoky notes with luscious, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. Ardbeg Uigeadail was voted by the 120,000+ strong Ardbeg Committee as their favourite Ardbeg.
Non chill-filtered at 54.2% ABV
Ardbeg Corryvreckan takes its name from the famous whirlpool that lies to the north of Islay, where only the bravest souls dare to venture. Swirling aromas and torrents of deep, peaty, peppery taste lurk beneath the surface of this beautifully balanced dram. Like the whirlpool itself, Corryvreckan is not for the faint-hearted! Awarded The World’s Best Single Malt in 2010 and voted World Whisky of the Year in 2010.
Non chill-filtered at 57.1% ABV

I watched this video to help me figure out which Ardbeg to buy. I decided to buy all three.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

we assume no responsibility!

[@JLUnit416]

As a recent Ardbeg convert, I recently had the opportunity to compare the Uigeadail to the Corryvreckan and so far, for my money, I prefer the Uigeadail. I find the Corryvreckan lacks some of the drama of the Uigeadail, which is what I enjoy so much about it. The Corryvreckan seems to be the more balanced and dare I say, "muted" of the two. I guess when I'm in the mood for a peated Scotch, I'm not really looking for subtlety.

[@billyhughes9776]

I do love the 10 yo,...but, the Uigeadail is just special whisky.

[@terryllwegener3811]

Purchased my first Ardbeg Uigeadial last night. I really like it especially the sweetness.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

very nice Terryll!

[@billfuddled]

Finished off a dram of Uigeadail (with a touch of water) whilst watching your video. Made me appreciate it all the more. I found that the reasons for your liking it matched my own. Thank you for that!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Great to hear!

[@rockdocpalmcoast4189]

I'm drinking the Ardbeg 10 for the first time while I'm watching this. it's like someone shoveled an ashtray in my mouth. I love it!. I finished off a bottle of Laphroaig 10 in record time a few days ago. I am hooked on peated Scotch but I'm not sorry.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

no apologies necessary. we also don't assume any responsibility in drinking habits while watching the show!

[@Kvs-vf9nt]

Record time I have like 7pc 10's and my third uigeadail right now. That's a record now damn I never drink so much but today I said f*ck it. Also I'm not sorry. And I'm drunk. It was a long time ago now actually but yeah Monday starts dry week.

[@jeremybamgbade]

Just purchased Ardbeg uigeadail for the first time last night and it was Amazing. Up until last night, Ardbeg 10 was my favorite but the complexity of the uigeadail is amazing. I don't get "sweetness" from the uigeadail, rather I get a nice dark red wine note from it that I interpret as more "rich fruit" than "sweet". The front palate literally tastes like Im drinking dry sherry wine, and its not until the mid palate where that tangy/meaty and rich ardbeg smokieness comes in. The finish ends with a salted bacon note, grazzed with bbq sauce that was mingled with rich dry red wine. Simply Amazing.

[@em4703]

Ardbeg 10 is really great, isn't it? :D Just tried it first time about 2 weeks ago, I'm in love with these peat infused isles scotches now. Haven't even touched my Wild Turkey Rare Breed bottle in this time xD Got the Corryvreckan on order atm, I love the lack of sweetness of the Ardbeg 10, the strong peat smell, and the bitter taste at the end. Corryvreckan should be just that, but one level higher. I'm excited not gonna lie lol

[@jeremybamgbade]

@@em4703 I have a bottle of Corryvreckan that has 1/3rd of the juice left. It is the best whisky I have ever tasted, even better than the oogie. I still enjoy a good cask strength bourbon/rye, but Islay...Islay has my heart.

[@jeremybamgbade]

@@em4703 Also.......yes.....Ardbeg 10 is amazing.

[@michaelcosme5560]

My first Smokey scotch was Ardbeg uigeadail, it was super heavy smoke at first, made me think I was more of a sweet, smooth guy. I tried Redbreast 12 Cask strength and Lustau, Glenfiddich 12,Bruichladdich 2010 Organic. Which I love, then something happened, came back to Ardbeg Uigeadail, and I loved the smoke. Now I'm a heavy Peat lover..

[@chrismarshall4486]

Well cool. I was just trying to find a comparison of the ardbeg line and this was an awesome video. I know this is an older video but it still carries today. Ha. I got a chance to taste ardbeg 10 and laphroaig 10. Went with the ardbeg but I’ve been trying to decide between the uigeadail and corryvreckon. I think you all helped me decide on the uigeadail. Thanks so much. Love all your videos by the way

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Thanks Chris. We love to see comments on our older vids

[@thegoldenchild4657]

That Uigeadail is phenomenal. Love the smoke and Sherry. Mouth waters just thinking about it.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Bart agrees

[@sunnyc.7720]

Slowly binge-watching all your videos. Really enjoying the quick hitters and the shootouts. The livestreams are lots of fun as well. Thanks for all the information and ideas for new whiskeys to try. I have yet to try a smoky whiskey and I'm looking to try my first one. If you got a suggestion I would love to hear it. Cheers gentleman

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Thanks Sunny C. Compass Box Peat Monster won Bart over to the Peat side. A lot of people start with Lagavulin 16. It took me awhile and several bottles to start to lean towards peat. Scott

[@simplediversion4409]

Thanks for the video guys! I just got a bottle of the Uigeadail a couple weeks ago and it is my favorite as well. Love the complexity!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Thanks Simple! That one is a good one. If you can find one, the Dark Cove Committee Release (higher abv) is outstanding. We have a sample of the standard Dark Cove and are getting ready to compare it to the committee release.

[@simplediversion4409]

Hmm I'll keep my eye out but I can't recall seeing those in my area. Gonna pick up some Laphroaig 10 today and give it another shot! Last time I had it I wasn't a fan of the finish but may appreciate more now.

[@hcdangan]

Can you guys do an Uigeadail vs Laphroaig Quarter Cask?

[@ScotchTestDummies]

hmmmm....

[@utoobia]

1) Corry 2) Uigeadail 3) Ten Like all of these quite a bit, but Corry by a nose. More unusual and unique. Like it best cut to about 100 proof. And the Ten wins in bang-for-the-buck.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

My current leaning is in line with yours. But it’s always a moving target

[@christinecamley]

This is an oldie but goodie!! I love all of these Ardbeg expressions and I think the UIG is my favourite!. I do love the higher ABV in the Corey but there's something that really grabs me with the UIG. The peat is a bit harsh in the Ten but someone could pour me any one of these beauties and I'd be happy. To be honest I really like the punch from the Ten. I usually want more peat, more smoke, a nice tar peat, a delicious cigar peat, but still the UIG is lovely and it's pulling as my fave of the 3 right now. In Canada the UIG is about $160.00 plus tax right now. Single malts are going up so much in price. I do love these! Terrific tasting notes guys from the palette! Hey I am in Vancouver so I noticed the RCMP cap right away! Cheers!

Sipping some 10yo right now watching this review again -- one of the my personal favorites.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Thanks Billy!

[@steviesteve750]

Interesting review! Most of us brits find the two NAS expressions to be vastly different from the dry smoke if the 10. Both corry and oogie have a strong saline punch on the face that is unique, the oogie has a sweeter complexity due to the sherry casking. Corry has no sweetness at all, it's like being punched in the face and then laid down gently on a bed of cinders! If you like slightly peated sherried Islay malts try Bunnahabhain 12. Personally, corry is the king of peated islay but that's the fun we all have different tastes!

[@ScotchTestDummies]

what did you think about the Kelpie?

[@steviesteve750]

Scotch Test Dummies not tasted it! One that I have that's quite similar again is Laphroaig quarter cask.

[@WarButler]

The Uigeadail is one of the finest whiskies I've ever tasted. It's around £50 where I am, which seems like a hell of a deal compared to the prices elsewhere. The 10 is a rock solid Isla whiskey. I love Arbeg. I love whiskey!

[@BradsWhiskeyJourney]

They're all great, imo, but for me the added brine notes and punchiness of the higher abv in the Corryvreckan just add some magic for me putting it ahead. No bad options in the bunch though for sure.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

these are all good ones.

[@choppersplace]

Guys what’s the glasses used? Glencairn cdn whiskey? Or other? I have the typical glencairn glass...looking for something a bit more relaxed for regular sipping/sniffing.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

these are the Canadian Glencairn!

[@wedgburymusic4886]

100% agree with Bart. The 10 is a magic drink with a singular character. It's delicious. I tasted the Uigeadail a few years after drinking the 10 religiously. For the first few drams I couldn't get my mind away from the 10... The Uigeadail seemed like a confused younger brother... BUT after a few drams I got it. Uigeadail is complex and really tasty with a little sherry influence, treacle and salty caramel influences. It's delicious.... BUT....BART.... you are on the money. The 10 knows who it is. It's simple and it's sensational. The Corryvreckan is just a gimmick...

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Thanks Rob sounds like we have similar tastes. Thanks for watching and commenting. bart

[@foodquig]

I don't like the sweetness of the Uigeadail... I'm with you, bart. The ten is a keeper, and the Corryvreckan is more complex, but the Uigeadail just doesn't agree with me as much as the Corryvreckan... So, how about your takes on that Laphroaig triple wood? LOL

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Top notch

[@darkoanton5]

How do you guys compare the two premiums with the Lagavulin 16 which are somewhat in the same price range?

[@ScotchTestDummies]

we would have to look at them side by side...

[@darkoanton5]

I know it is probably shocking for those not used to Islay peated whiskies, but I find the current 10 quite elegant - like a quintessential scotch. I don't find it harsh and/or bold. It's just nice and balanced.

[@robertzemko6590]

I have never seen enthusiasm to this degree as Bart's. I take it he likes PEAT, SMOKE. So do I but I will have to work hard to get the enthusiasm to 11. Great "vintage" review guys.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

smoke baby smoke

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

The peat is not harsh in the 10 you need to let it develop in the glass for 10-15 minutes and it's a completely different dram with a long aftertaste, nothing short about it at all. It blooms long and slow.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

i think we use "harsh" just as a level indicator. Bart loves the "harsh" and the harsher the better.

[@whynottalklikeapirat]

@@ScotchTestDummies Right, that makes sense - I've been respectfully working my way through a airport one-liter bottle over a longer period of time approaching it in different ways and I honestly find it almost smooth (within the style) when you come at it in certain ways and the layers of the smoke on the aftertaste I find quite delicate and velvety and subtle, compared to the bonfire style of say some Laphroighs. Some of it's ashen sure (though not ashtray, to me - lifelong non smoker here) but not limited to that - and the lingering sweetness I think carries it beautifully and in simple honest way ... straight from the bottle it can be a bit short-lived up front and I agree perhaps harsh if you will, but that really changes A LOT with time and gives way to something else ...

[@kunaalkhanna]

Another sweet peat = Lagavulin 16. Would love to hear your thoughts on this vs the Uigeadail.

If you guys like the uigedail, then you need to try both the glendronach peated and the bunnahabhain moine oloroso. Both give me a wow factor. They are young, but exceptional with the peat and sherry combo.

I'm with you, Bart. The Ardbeg 10 is amazing and incredible value. Uigedail is nice but I'm not sure it's worth 50% more in price for me. Time will tell. Have a Corryvreckan but haven't cracked in open yet.

[@TheJusnic82]

I love Ardbeg 10 and buy it regularly out of all the heavily peated whiskys its still by far my favourite. The Uigeadail ive had several times and never been a huge fan of it to be honest id rather have the 10. I love sherry'd whiskys but something about ardbeg peat and sherry just didnt co-mingle for me that good. Id rather have my heavy sherry whisky's and heavy peated whiskys seperate. Its deffinently worth the try but not a bottle id buy again. The Corry I had once and it wasnt anything special. A good whisky but id take 10 or Uigeadail over Corry anyday.

[@coachace123]

I can't believe I haven't tried the Ardbeg 10 yet. I'm picking up a few new whiskies tomorrow and Ardbeg 10 is on top of the list. I'm also hoping to pick up a bottle of Peat Monster. I guess I'm in the peaty, smoky camp with you, Bart.

[@colourlessbluethings]

If it doesn't state on the bottle that no colour is added, you have to assume that it is. Laphroaig is in a green bottle too but even the 18 says on the label that it has colour. It just doesn't say it in English. (German and Danish, as far as I can tell).

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Certain countries have rules that it has to be on there. USA doesn't. You are correct if it doesn't say no colorant, assume it is in there. Thanks Colourless!

Scott, i like the way you say uigeadail :-) this stuff is just amazing,full bodied,complex,the peatiness is not so pushy and it has that hint of sherry sweetness and friendliness no other ardbeg or laphroaig offers. I'm not a peathead or a big Islay Fan,but this is the stuff that reconciled me with the old smoky island

[@keithpetersen560]

Isn't it great when you can buy a 10 yr scotch and love it. How often can you say that. The only peat scotch that I've had was the Famous Lagavulin 16 which was hard for me to finish and the Talisker 10 which wasn't to bad. Both of which are well under $100. Anyway's the Ardbeg Uigeadail is on my list being sherry influenced, cost me about $70 and rates as 97.5 PTS - 2013 WHISKY BIBLE WORLD WHISKY OF THE YEAR. Great video.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

+Keith Petersen ...great comments Keith, whole heartedly agree!

[@keithpetersen560]

You are talking about Lagavulin 16 right! I don't know where you live, but Costco in Danville Ca, sells it everyday for $55.......

[@keithpetersen560]

Try "The Whisky Exchange" & "Master of Malt" online. You save S/H costs when buying 2 bottles or more.

[@keithpetersen560]

I think I'm not going to try the Ardbeg 10, sounds to peaty for me. I left a comment about the Uigeadail on your other video. Just the right balance of peat, nice complex and a nice sweet note. I will have to pick up a 50ml sample of the Corryvreckan before I commit to a 750ml bottle. Uigeadail cost me $60 what a steal. Will let you know what I think about sampling the Corryvreckan before I spend $74.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

+Keith Petersen ...Scott agrees with you Keith. I wish we had those prices around here. Uiegi is $90 and Correy $110.

[@keithpetersen560]

+Scotch Test Dummies Tried a 50ml sample of the Corryvreckan last night while watching the Warriors. Tried it neat and with water. It was to sharp, to strong even with water. If you add to much water you will kill the scotch profile. I can't imagine paying your scotch prices. I don't know why Kansas charges more than Ca. Our gas prices are higher, so is our housing. I guess that's the trade off?

[@ScotchTestDummies]

I'll take it (the trade off)!

[@keithpetersen560]

+Scotch Test Dummies With a trade off like that, I would be buying scotch as often as you guys and doing videos also :) Keep up the videos.

[@ChristopherOSU]

Uigeadial is like BEING at a campfire not EATING a campfire - you guys don't pickup any hit of smoked meats, like bacon? (From the Uigeadail) I haven't tried the 10 yet.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

thanks Candy Monster, might not have gotten it at the time. Our love of Ardbeg has grown since this video too!

[@salllmanjohn20]

Ardbeg 10 with sprite. 👌

[@ScotchTestDummies]

may have to try that one

Circular breathing my friends. Circular. Bart

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Youre spending high for those. Where i am uigeadail is 70 on the high end and corry is maybe 90

[@ScotchTestDummies]

check again, Uigea has gone up here to $100 range.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

@@ScotchTestDummies still 70 here. Sucks to be you guys i guess

[@ScotchTestDummies]

good price!

[@curanderoverde]

Dude freaking drink sparkling water between drinks but really nothing is necessary...

[@alansmithee4895]

Corry, all day

[@ScotchTestDummies]

nothing wrong with that.

[@gman5986]

I like both but my bottle of ARDBEG CORRYVRECKAN is noticeably better and deeper taste than my Ugy...............

[@ScotchTestDummies]

i think in our blind peat shootouts the Corry did better too

[@utoobia]

Agree, but it needs to be dialed in. Liked it best, but only after letting it sit in glass for 15 minutes, then adding 3-4 drops of water.

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

Captains WILL follow you now.. CORREY is a waste.. OOGGIE Deserves OSCARS...,an improvement to ARDBEG 10

[@PradeepRaajkumar1981]

American PISTA salty with OOGGIE and ARGY 10

sorry Sam, sensitive microphone and all part of tasting!

[@Christian_from_Copenhagen]

@@ScotchTestDummies I actually considered getting both the Oogie and Corry until I saw your video, now I'm thinking the Oogie would be fun to compare to the Talisker and Lagavulin Distiller's Editions instead! Three sherry-finished peat monsters head-to-head 🤘

[@ScotchTestDummies]

very nice, would be good indeed!

[@lockguy2652]

maybe we should not have called it a "shootout"... just sayin.

[@ScotchTestDummies]

that may have saved some conflict!

[@4829168]

Nice one dummies now you guys just need to include the newer releases

[@ScotchTestDummies]

Always working on it. Sometimes what we can get is limited...but we are working on that too.
