Ardbeg An Oa BBQ Smoker Edition, Pedro Ximénez Sherry & Virgin Oak & Bourbon Cask, Batch 16358, 2020, 46.6%

Since its establishment in 1815, The Ardbeg distillery has experienced a tumultuous history of ownership changes, closures, and reopenings, achieving stability in 1997 with its acquisition by Glenmorangie. This Ardbeg An Oa BBQ Smoker Edition is a special presentation that includes a bottle of Ardbeg An Oa and a functional BBQ smoker. Named after the Mull of Oa on Islay's south-west coast, Ardbeg An Oa was the first addition to Ardbeg's core range in a decade, released in 2017. It is crafted to be a more approachable Ardbeg, matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez sherry, virgin charred oak, and ex-bourbon casks, then blended in a bespoke Gathering Vat. This heavily peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is non-chill filtered and bottled at 46.6% ABV.
