A sherry-coated Uigeadail, fruitier on the nose than my Ardbeg standard bearer and syrupier on the finish. The sweet peat rolls out the glass, a thick mist off a swampy bog. A sip fills the mouth like a boozy Black Forest gateau, big and bombastic, and coats the throat with a treacly trail that is ultimately too sweet for my palate. Glad I gave into the temptation to open this old acquisition, but not sure I'll be picking it over the Oogy too often.

I find Ardbeg standard releases (10, Corry, and Uigi) so much better than any of their specials. Their recent specials (Perpetuum, Auri) were no where as good as the Uigi and Corry
