Ardbeg An Oa Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Introduced in 2017 as Ardbeg's first core-range addition in a decade, An Oa blends Pedro Ximénez and bourbon cask spirits, then marries them in French oak for added complexity. The result is rounded smoke—less harsh than classic Ardbeg—complemented by toffee, dried date, and subtle aniseed notes from the PX influence. The texture is supple and warming at 46.6% abv, with a finish that balances peat against orchard fruit and spice. An accessible entry point for those curious about Ardbeg's range.
