Ardbeg Flask Set Vol.2

Ardbeg is revered around the world as the peatiest, smokiest, most complex whisky of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the malt, the natural sweetness of which subtly intrudes and produces perfect balance.

High in the hills above Ardbeg lies the gloomy and mysterious Lake Uigeadail (pronounced "Oog-dal"). The water from the lake is used to produce this premium whisky. It is a special blend of different Ardbeg styles, combining the traditional deep, smoky notes and sweet hints of old barrels once used to store sherry. Ardbeg Uigeadail does not go through cold filtration, which enables it to retain maximum flavor, and gives more fullness and depth, i.e. it retains the original taste from the barrel. In 2009, Jim Murray Whisky Bible declared Uigeadail the "World Whisky of the Year" because of its "silky glow" and a "complexity on a level only a handful of distilleries in the world can even dream of reaching". Its flavor is an intense symphony of smoke and a wonderful fruit cake.

Inspired by the golden age of 1960 s Italians cinema, Ardbeg Dolce blend Mediterranean charm with Ardbeg s bold, rugged spirit. Matured in Sicilian  Marsala wine casks and classic bourbon barrels, it balances sweet flavours of apricot, marmelade and dark chocolate, with notes of roasted nuts and smoky applewood.
Rich and complex on the nose, the smoke is softened – mellowed by bursts of apricot, plump raisins, sticky date and tangy stewed apple. Orange marmalade lifts it all with a citrusy brightness. A splash of water reveals the deeper, earthier layers: pine needles, capers and olives. On the palate spices lead the way in cinnamon, star anise and a flicker of liquorice heat. Then the sweetness unfolds with maple-smoked wood, baked dates with walnuts, honeycomb and dark chocolate. Dried fruits follow close behind, wrapped in lemon rind and balanced by a savoury twist of salted nuts and dried herbs. The finish is long and layered, with smoked applewood, drying tobacco and rich, chewy peat oils.
