Ardbeg An Oa Islay Single Malt
Review
This single malt combines whiskies aged in Pedro Ximenez casks, ex-bourbon barrels, and virgin charred oak. It kicks of with an intensely smoky introduction of barbecue and campfire aromas, but the smoke clears on the palate, revealing juicy bramble fruit and notes of sweet cherry. The finish is peppery and savory, and seems to go on forever.
