A new expression of Ardbeg
An Oa is the most approachable and spherical interpretation from the iconic Islay distillery. An elaborate yet gentle Single Malt, born from the fusion of charred oak, Pedro Ximénez, and ex-bourbon casks.
Seductive and balanced nose
On the nose, it merges smoky notes with an enveloping sweetness: vanilla, honey, dark chocolate, and toffee receive a core of peat and damp earth.
Characterful and smooth on the palate
Smoky but not feisty. The first impact is spicy (black pepper and anise), followed by a creamy texture with touches of honey, toffee, and charred oak. A structured whisky, free of harsh edges.
A finish that lingers and embraces
The aftertaste is sweet, long, and slightly spicy, with elegant smoke and woody notes evoking the sea and breeze of Islay.
Perfect for peat whisky beginners
Its balance between sweetness and peat makes it the ideal Ardbeg for those looking to explore Islay’s bold flavors without sacrificing smoothness.

About the Winery

The Ardbeg distillery was founded in 1815 on the south coast of Islay, Scotland, and is one of the region's most iconic distilleries for its bold, heavily peated style. Over the centuries, it has endured closures, fires, and industry crises, consolidating its position as an icon of Scottish artisanal whisky. Today, under the ownership of the LVMH group, it continues to produce whisky in small batches using traditional methods, combining innovation and realism.

What flavor awaits me?

Appearance:
Bright golden amber color with coppery highlights.

Nose:
Sweet and enveloping aromas of honey, creamy caramel, and toffee, intertwined with Ardbeg's characteristic peat smoke, but smoother and silkier. Notes of dark chocolate, toasted wood, star anise, and a subtle hint of fruit (figs and raisins) emerge.

Palate:
Velvety texture, with a remarkable balance between sweetness, spice, and smoke. Flavors of molasses, cocoa, mild spices (cinnamon, cloves), and a salty, mineral touch reminiscent of the sea. The smokiness is present but tamed, rounded out by notes of sherry and oak.

Finish:
Long and persistent, with sweet echoes of vanilla and dried fruit, elegant smoke, and a warm sensation that invites another sip.
