Pronounced Oog-a-dal, the name literally means 'dark and mysterious' and is also the name of the spring where Ardbeg sources its water. This is a perfect marriage of whiskies that have been aged in both sherry and bourbon casks.The peat-laden waters of Loch Uigeadail provide the smoky tones in this whisky, while maturation in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks imparts rich, warm flavours – perfect for a dramatic, stormy night.Full flavoured and rich with a deep mouth-coating texture, the taste is an intriguing balance between sweet, spicy and deep smoky flavours. The flavour is initially sweet. A burst of winter spices sets off a smoky-spicy explosion countered by a sumptuous mid-palate of honey glazed smoked food and chewy treacle. Waves of deep smoky tones and rich aromas build up on the palate like a fine Montecristo cigar.Amazingly long and chewy with lingering raisiny, deep mocha tones and rich aromatic smoke into the perfectly integrated finish. ABV 46%.
The Singleton Tailfire Single Malt Scotch Whisky possesses a vibrant and enticing character from it's maturation in specially selected European oak casks that help to enhance the juicy red berry freshness amd sweet aromas of vanilla freshly cut grass.
