I just started getting into Ardbeg and peated scotch in general. I bought a bottle of Uigeadail, and it's now my favorite whisky. I'm going to have to try the others in ardbeg's lineup to compare.

I'm just watching your video now while just sampling my new first bottle of Corryvreckan with my opened bottle of Ugeadail. I think I have to agree with you 100 % Both are delicious now I need to get the 10.. Happy Holidays!

I was in Scotland about a year and a half ago, and, naturally, I wanted to get some scotch to bring home to Ontario. I was on my way to take a ferry out to see a castle on the Isle of Mull, and we stopped at a corner shop on the way out. It just so happened that there was a little whiskey shop attached to it, so I went in and had a look, and was immediately overwhelmed by the choices and variety. I wound up blindly grabbing a bottle of Ardbeg 10. I didn't know you could get it at the LCBO, haha. Looking back, I should have done some research and grabbed something that you can't find here. No regrets, though. Ardbeg 10 is incredible. I also wound up randomly coming across a bottle of Lagavulin 16 in the gift shop of that ferry for around 50 Scottish pounds, which was a whiskey that I had been seeking out. At the time, you couldn't get it at the LCBO where I live, but you can now. Ah well, live and learn.

Nice review. The ardbeg 10 is awesome. I just tried the uigeadail and it's also really good. the corryvereckan is next on my list to try.

Your quickly becoming my favorite whisky reviewer. There are many others I watch regularly but I just discovered your channel and get excited to hear your take on my new purchases. I've had several bottles of the classic 10 I I decided to take the leap and get the corryvreckan and uigeadail. Both amazing. This week I bought the An Oa for 47$ usd. Priced the same as ardbeg 10 here. I look forward to trying it in the coming weeks and I'll surely be coming back to your video to do an Ardbeg flight with you

I've never had any Ardbeg bottles other than the non-committee Dark Cove which I loved so it was good to see your take on the core range. I might pick up the Corry soon 😊 cheers brother

Nice review Jeremy. Just recently tried Corry & was really impressed with it. The range is solid and priced competitively here - Ten can be found for $80, the rest ~$100 CDN.

Great to see another excellent reviewer online - the more the merrier! I can easily identify with your sentiments about the core range, even though the Uigy probably ends up my top pick due to those intriguing sherry notes that add to the complexity. Cheers! P.S. Your pop up note-taker goes on strike whenever you say "licorice"!

I just picked up a bottle of AnOa today for my birthday celebration this weekend! Can't wait to try it for the first time. First step into Ardbeg Territory

Your description are spot on! Having the Ardbeg Uigeadail and Ardbeg Blaaak now, so good and complex.

I bought my first Islays today. The Uigeadail and Laphroaig 10. Both proved wonderful introductions to peat. I can't be sure which I like more. They are so different, yet amazing in their own ways. Uigeadail is like smoked brisket, and Laphroaig made me realize how much peat and black licorice have in common.

Awesome flight & great idea to do the core range in a single vid. I always keep a 10 & an Uigeadail on hand. I wasn’t as into An Oa & haven’t tried the Corryvreckan yet. Will def have to remember to pick up a bottle next time im shopping.

Great review, similar to adventures in whiskey. Love when reviewers do the whole line-up. That peat flashback comment for uigeadail is dead on!

Thanks Nicholas. Just watched his review which was very good. Keep an eye for my complete Johnnie Walker core range review coming up in November

The first Ardbeg I tried was the 10. It blew me away! I immediately wanted to try the other varieties. Went for the Uigeadael next. WOW! This became my favorite scotch (even more than Lagavulin 8). The next variety I tried was the An Oa. It has the nice campfire/peat finish that you'd expect from a good scotch. However, it had a nose and pallet that were, in my opinion, too sweet. I agree with Jeremy here that the An Oa is cool if you're looking to try something a little different. It's interesting to get the campfire/peat notes along with the sweet notes. But for *me*, the point of drinking scotch is to luxuriate in flavors that remind you of the sea, campfires, smoked meats, citrus, leather, etc. Its a very distinct flavor profile you're going for with scotch, which kind of take you to a destination (if that makes sense). If I want sweet or medicinal flavors, on the other hand, I'll buy American or Canadian whiskey. My $0.02. Great review!! Can't wait to try the Corryvreckan! Subbed!

You and Jason whiskey wise are easily my favourite reviewers: you both give reviews that are efficient, informative and delivered with a very likeable personality...kudos .

Good comments on NAS. I only have the 10 and the Grooves, you may have convinced me to pick up an Uggi next time I’m at Superstore in Calgary (C$88).

Totally understand you saying about don't get hung up on age statement whiskey. I decided to try a proper peated whiskey and went for Lagavulin 16, said to myself well the reviews are good and its a 16 year. A great whiskey thst looking forward to comparing an Ardbeg against it soon 🥃🥃

Excellent video, really enjoyed this.

The AN OA was a beautiful one. The local grocery store had it briefly but they have not reordered it-----reckon I may need to put in a special request as I am itching for another bottle to add to my scotch bar.....

I had been saving my Corryvreckan for that special occasion, but as they say (and as your video review suggests), Corryvreckan is that occasion. I had a first taste, and it just made me laugh, it was that good. I was pretty worried I would be disappointed, having been waiting for months to try it out. It's definitely the best Ardbeg I've had so far. Thank you for your video reviews, I love how they are straight to the point, while also showing your passion for a good dram.

I love core range reviews like this one, great job! It seems like An Oa is designed to be their mildest introductory bottle, so I was surprised you didn't start with that one. Did you drink water between each tasting? I'd imagine the palate would blend the experiences together a little bit otherwise.

Is that how shoe polish or polis is spelled. Great video. I started getting into whiskey with bourbons and eventually moved on to Ardbeg. Completely opened my eyes to whiskey.

Yes, I agree, the Corryvreckan is the best. I don't particularly like some elements of the smell of the 10 - I would prefer a Laphroaig QC or Talisker 10.

trying Ardbegs side by side seems to highlight the differences at first for me but after a few sips it all sort of blends together lol. Smelling the Corryvreckan and then going back to the Uigeadail I actually got some light sweet fruity smells on the nose that I hadn't noticed at all before.

I've bought bottles of all the expressions, except the Corryreckan. I had only a 50 ml of that. I love Ardbeg peat, no medicinal notes for me. I would probably agree with your scoring as well. As far as AGED vs NAS bottles, I would disagree with you. I prefer age because the odds of a better whisky is in my favor. I've had to many NAS bottles that were to young or sharp and I'm personally looking for complexity. Yes I've had some decent NAS bottles and some aged bottles that were just ok. For the most part, I will stick with a nice aged whisky. Great review.

The 10yo is a must have in your bar. The Uigeadail is very good, I felt that the sherry was more prevalent, when I first opened the bottle. Cheers

Agreed....the best thing about the Corryvrckan is that you can play with it. One drop of water, two drops of water or a splash

If I had to rank these in order of my preference I'd go Corry > Oogie > An Oa > Ten. Some years ago I used to say that the Ardbeg 10 ruined other whiskies for me, but now Corryvreckan has ruined other Ardbegs for me, haha.

Really enjoyed this rundown! You’ll have to revisit this once you get your hands on the new “Wee Beastie.” My personal rundown would probably be Uigeadail, Ten, Corryvreckan, An Oa.

I had the ultimate yesterday. Maybe cause I had modafinil earlier. Didn't love it. Wee beastie was somehow more satisfying in terms of taste.

found some 2013 Corry today and I think I am going back tomorrow to buy the other 2 they have left. Way better than newer Corry. Found a 2013 Nadurra 16 year as well that I had to buy. Stumbled into it at some terrible corner market liquor store that you would think it would never have stuff like this. That is probably why they still have them. Got Baker's 107 bourbon from 2014 also. They have some Taliskers also but I need to do some code homework to see when they are from but probably same era
