Ardbeg Smoky Porter Beer, Corryvreckan, Uigeadail & An Oa Whisky

Colour

From jet-black porter to deep copper-amber whiskies, a smoky mahogany spectrum—glossy, warm with ruby-tinted highlights.

Nose

Charred peat, sea-salt smoke crowns the nose, carried by Islay’s maritime breeze. Rich sherried sweetness from Uigeadail and Corryvreckan blends with dark fruit, espresso and cocoa, while hints of leather add depth. An Oa contributes toasted vanilla and toffee. The Shortie Smoky Porter threads roasted malt warmth through the peat, yielding a luxurious, multi-layered aroma.

Palate

On the palate, a symphony of Ardbeg peat and maritime smoke unfolds. Smoky porter roast anchors the start with coffee and char; Corryvreckan fans the flames with briny pepper and dark fruit; Uigedail layers in sherry sweetness, cocoa, and raisin; An Oa adds creamy vanilla, toffee, and oak spice. The result is a layered, full-bodied tapestry of smoke, chocolate, and oceanic tang—long, warming, impeccably balanced.

Finish

An extended symphony of smoke and velvet sweetness: Corryvreckan’s maritime peat leads into Uigeadail’s sherried warmth, with An Oa adding cocoa and tobacco over a roasted-malt whisper from The Shortie Smoky Porter. A long, balanced finish—peaty, gently sweet, and lingering with ash.
