Ardbeg was founded in 1815 on the isle of Islay & is famous for intense, complex & heavily peated malts. An Oa is aged in ex-PX Sherry and Bourbon barrels to add notes of dried fruit and vanilla before being finally matured in French oak before bottling. The result is a richer, rounded Ardbeg with hints of toffee, spice, caramel and ripe banana.
