Ardbeg Uigeadail Size:70clUigeadail derives from the Scotch Gaelic for 'Dark and Mysterious Place' and is named for the Loch from whence Ardbeg draws its waters. Jim Murray's 2009 World Whisky of the Year, this cask strength bottle exudes breathtaking balance. The nose is multifaceted, notes of peat and little flourishes of dark sugar, freshly ground espresso beans, cereal notes and a most sophisticated tar. The finish is very long, caramel and malt weave their way through
we have included a white variety in our usual blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha
Taylor's 20 Year Old Tawny is another magnificent
I knew we had the makings for a smart wine from 2013
Grapes are picked and immediately pressed to tanks for clarification
it is well-balanced with lots of ripe fruit flavours that carry through onto the finish
The cask-aged wines act as spices to the blend
combining a specially selected range of botanicals and the best pure grain spirit
Soil types vary from the young alluvial deposits of Rapaura and Renwick
making me want more and more
The grapes for this wine are sourced from some excellent cool-climate vineyards in the Marlborough (64%) and Central Otago (36%) regions of New Zealand's South Island
but was not blended until the final stages of the winemaking process
About 20 years old
