Welcome to Whisky Galore

The Ardbeg Day 2022 Release is now available. In a first for the distillery, this whisky is produced from 'black' roasted barley, a process designed to bring out dark and deep flavours from the malt. Spicy, savoury and‘grippy’, with an explosion of savoury marmite burnt toast and charcoal and chicory (camp coffee) infused coffee grounds. The classic Ardbeg herbal fennel top note is present but very much in  the background of all the swirling, smoky bonfire and molasses notes.

The palate is anastonishing spicy, leading to an explosion of rich powerful flavours– cocoa powder, rich dark chocolate, peanut brittle toffee, smoked lime and a suggestion of soot and bonfire embers.

There is lots of liquorice along with some altogether sweeter malty biscuit flavours, and a long lingering treacle toffee aftertaste

Available while stocks last.

Ardbeg's Monsters of Smoke pack contains three 200ml bottles of their famously peated drams: 'Wee Beastie', 'An Oa' and their classic 10 year old single malts. Created on the southern shore of Islay, Scotland's most famous whisky-making isle, these whiskies offer an opportunity to explore Ardbeg's distinctive peaty, smoky and maritime character. This pack is available exclusively in the south island from Whisky Galore.

This is the second Batch of Ardbeg Traigh Bhan, a limited edition series of 19 year old whiskies from this iconic Islay distillery. The nose offers sweet wood smoke and creme fraiche, which develops into savoury fennel and roasted tea leaves. The palate has salty notes to start which shift to gentle medicinal notes, followed by peanut brittle, smoked pineapple, and zesty lime juice. The finish returns to big savoury and smoky notes which linger. A wonderful example of the refined peaty complexity of old Ardbeg.

Marking the 3rd release of the Traigh Bhan series, offering a rare taste of some of the Ardbeg distilleries older stocks. Matured for 19 years in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks, it shows the more mellow side of the distillery, with toffee, floral and citrus notes combined with a softer, more scented peat smoke. The treacle toffee and gentle spice moves to clove, pepper and a sooty, ashy finish that lingers. Ardbeg's classic peaty tone is still here, softened and rounded with nearly 20 years of maturation.

Legendary to those who have come to crave Scotland's big peat-flavoured drams, Ardbeg achieves a balance between surging smoke and peat, with notes of fresh tar, medicinal carbolic soap, wood smoke and a distant coastal element. The palate has a surprising sweetness and an oilyness that is offset by a fruity, citrus hint. One of our most popular Islay malts.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan is one of two constantly available Ardbegs bottled at high strength. It is made up of a combination of Ardbeg matured in standard Ex Bourbon casks and in French oak casks. This maturation gives the Corryvreckan great balance of sweetness and spiciness backed up by a huge punch of drying, ashy smoke.

A fine drop of Ardbeg bottled at high strength. A marriage of Ardbeg from bourbon barrels and sherry butts which gives a sweet and smokey finish to this malt. Uigeadail is the loch from which all Ardbeg's water flows. This year's batch of Uigeadail has more sherry influence and is an absolutely stunning whisky. Nose: the nose is deep and rounded chocolate caramels and barley sugar combine with dates, raisins and smooth sherry notes. The sweetness gives way to malted honeycomb, with flowering currants emerging through the smoky sweetness of a well-fired fruit pudding. Taste: Sweet, chewy and oily with a silky mouthfeel. Initially sweet, revealing fruit cake and treacle. This is followed by barbecued or honey roast food with the slightest hint of olives. Finish: Again long, both sweet and dry with honey, treacle and a trace of lint.

Ardbeg 'An Oa' is the latest release from the iconic Ardbeg distillery on Islay, named after the southern point of the island known as the Mull of Oa (pronounced 'oh'). A creation of three different cask types that are married in a new 'gathering' vat which allows these flavours to mellow and mingle. The aroma is classic Ardbeg - sooty, ashy peat smoke wrapped in a lush sweetness, joined by spices and sea-spray. The palate is sweet and heavy with an oily mouthfeel, followed by rich peat smoke and hints of dark chocolate bitterness in the finish. A welcome new addition to the permanent Ardbeg range - gather 'round and get to know An Oa.

Ardbeg's latest addition to their lineup has finally arrived, the appropriately named 'Wee Beastie'. Selected from both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, this is Ardbeg at it's best - punchy, intense and smoky. The flavour carries an immediate kick of peppery, tarry and ashy peat smoke, along with smoked and salty meats. The surge of smoke gives way to a full mouthfeel and taste of chocolate, with hints of pine resin and herbal/medicinal notes that becomes sea-side salty dry and again the sweet, savoury & smoky contrast.

There is also a touch of apples, a fruit deeply related to the history of Nikka, followed by pleasantly tangy hints of green Japanese Sansho pepper on the finish.
