Description

An Oa takes its name from The Mull of Oa, located in the southwest of Islay. This coast offers protection against the worst weather of the North Atlantic. Ardbeg decided to name this more gentler and more approachable whisky after this protective coast. An Oa is a combination of whiskies from Pedro-Ximenez sherry casks, spicy Virgin charred oak, and ex-bourbon casks, which are married together in Ardbeg's newly-established Gathering Vat. The result is a dram with smoky power, mellowed by a delectable, smooth sweetness. It is non-chill filtered and bottled at 46.6% ABV.
