Reviewed April 29, 2024Definitely better value than Corryvreckan. Great whisky if you can find it at msrp ~$85. Otherwise just get the uigeadail.85.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed February 26, 2024 (edited May 2, 2024)Nose: smoke, ash, briquettes, and smoked meats. Peat, salt air, seaweed. Some sweeter malt peaks through a little, a hint of brown sugar and slight dried fruit elements. Palate: big peat and smoke here initially. Significant ash/creosote. Definitely some honey glazed BBQ meats. Strong funky peat and moderate salinity. As it coats the palate, more sweet elements come out, caramel, honey, chewy malt. Finish: ashy, brisket slathered in BBQ sauce. Lengthy. Phenolic elements come in late and linger for a while. -

Reviewed December 29, 2023 (edited December 30, 2023)Nose: smoked meat, ash, charcoal/soot, aromatic wood. Salt air, and a bit of peat come out the more you sip. A sweet woody vanilla also comes out a bit later as it sits. Palate: very rich and full, chocolate, ash, strong meatiness. Smoke is definitely here, but not as much the peaty side of it. Hints of the PX come through here with a tinge of sweetness. Aromatic wood is here too, almost a cedar note. Chili oil is mentioned by Ardbeg as a note and while not my initial impression, I can see it if I look for it. As it transitions to finish: char, and salinity mingle with a hint of citrus. Finish: ashy/sooty, lingering, drying, a bit of a burn at the back of the throat. Retrohale after you've let it sit in your throat for a minute is full of sooty/ashy smoke and charcoal.85.0 USD per Bottle
