Ardbeg An Oa Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Experience the Rounded Smoke of Ardbeg

A complex and approachable addition to the Ardbeg core range, An Oa is a testament to the art of maturation. Named after the Mull of Oa in the south of Islay, this expression is uniquely rounded through time spent in Ardbeg’s bespoke Gathering Vat. Here, whiskies from diverse cask types—including sweet Pedro Ximenez, spicy virgin charred oak, and intense ex-bourbon casks—meld together to create a singular spirit that balances Islay signature peat with a surprising, silky sweetness.
