I tried my very first An Oa today and it knocks me out. I only knew the 10 and the Beastie but I definitely like this more. More balanced and mellowed.
A lot of the northern islands in Scotland have no trees because the winds up there, have blown them over. Take a waterproof jacket and a fleece and a beanie hat if you go this far up into Scotland, in winter-time. Midge repellent too, in the summertime
Great vid.... Love the An Oa especially after a long cold surf in cape Town in the winter. gone right off the current Lagavulin 16 oddly. Swear its changed. Thanks guys
Just discovered this one on the shelf at the local grocer earlier tonight. When the time is right I shall be buying one soon to try..... The AN OA sounds delicious............
Very good ardbeg. I would Say this one taste better than the ardbeg 10, but is not as complex / incredible / good as the uigedall. Uigedall is juste CRAZY, the n'est whisky i've ever had, really. But this one is interesting still because it is more à daily drink (less alcohol) than the uigedall, and cheaper.
Viktor E I second this. I greatly want one of these hand made gems. I like the flat surface at the bottom to air the whisky. Been searching for one ever since you introduced them to your channel! Please Hoarst!!!!
I think the An Oa falls a little between some of the others but also a little short compared to the Ten, Corryvreckan and Uigeadail ... the nose develops nicely enough and is distinctly Ardbeg right off the bat there are things to look for and it has a pretty persistent smoky finish but to me it's not quite as fulfilling and finished as the others. Feels young, like the flavours maybe need to come together more.
ofcourse this one is slightly worse then the 10 year old this one is no age statement that means they olso can put 4 year old whiskey in the bottle becouse the beastie ardbeg is 5 year old they put there a age statement on that bottle
@@janteun3 I don’t think An Oa is THAT young, to be fair. I am a great fan of the 10 however if feel like that quality of it has been somewhat declining lately, to where I looking to other whiskys in the price range …
Tried this at Ardbeg distillery in Sept and was not impressed. Would take the Uni or Cory over this one by far. And also why do you guys just open a sample and not open the bottle? Just curious.
I'm considering adding another Islay whisky to my fairly-new collection and thinking of an Ardbeg. The 10yo is at a reasonable price at the moment or would I be better to pay slightly more for one of the NAS bottles? Thanks
yes the ardbeg an oa is very good i have this one olso have the 10 years old ardbeg i am going to buy the other one olso in the video i normally never buy no age statment whiskey becouse i have good taste en i like old stuf basically bud ibought this one the ardbeg an oa its very good now i want to taste the other one olso i normally only buy 12 years or 18 years old en older bottels
Peter 0 - I'm not being a dick. Just being honest. If he can pronounce vanilla with a V, which he does, he can pronounce available with a V. Also, his son, Ben, says available with a V.
Knight Artorias - I tried replying to Sonny's comment but it doesn't work for some reason. It does not matter how many languages I speak. Horst is capable of pronouncing the word correctly because he pronounces the word "vanilla" with a V. Also, Sonny says in his message "give these two gentlemen a break", but if he read my responses he would see that I pointed out that Ben pronounces available correctly with a V. So please tell Sonny that he is a dick, an idiot, and an asshole.

I've been enjoying your videos for 3 years or so now and together with ralfy, you are the Go To channel for whisky reviews.
Great video. Danke schön
SicSeb very different delivery styles but love them both
Sipping on a bit of the 10 year as I watch this...... Cheers guys!!! Always nice to hear your reviews...... :)
Great introduction about the land and all. You could be a tour guide.

Lagavulin 16 has increased a lot in price compared to other Islays, I don't know why.
I love your reviews! Thank you for doing these. :)
I think I might like this one. Our LCBO has it listed now, but not available yet. Can't wait to get a hold of this.
Curious, I've always gotten a bit of sea salt from An Oa. Anise Seed nailed that flavor I was struggling to place. Bravo
Just discovered this one on the shelf at the local grocer earlier tonight. When the time is right I shall be buying one soon to try..... The AN OA sounds delicious............
can you recommend Ardbeg an oa .is it good smoky?
Yes, its nice dram. Good introduction for Uggie, softer, less abv and almost twice cheaper. You cant go wrong. Just buy it and enjoy. 😁🥃🙋♂️
I don't have a beard. But I imagine a hypothetical beard and bagpipes in the background drinking this
Just got it in New England. Will be trying it.

Another great vid....I am possibly alone here but I actually prefer this to the Ugi.The 10 in my opinion remains the best of the bunch. Cheers.
Wow. This is a fantastic scotch. They have this at my local Costco right now for $54 which is an absolute steal in my opinion.
quite like the blend of sweet and smoky. a nice tangent to the 10 and ugi
Does anyone know how big is the vat that is used to marry the whiskey?
Where can i get your glass? International shipping.

Be reasonable the man is clearly using it

Great vid guys as always
Corryvreckan is still my favorite in their lineup
It's pretty damn good. Sadly I just reached the bottom of the whirlpool.
The bugs were attracted to the sweetness (of the drams).
Loathsome Kowboy 😁😁
Been waiting for this damnit! I can't find it in Utah yet.
Liquor store on 72nd

thebluep0tat0 if I had to take a wild guess it would be because samples are cheaped than bottles...?
yeah An Oa is crap....fake flavors allll day.
This one makes me dream I’m being abducted by aliens… anyone else?
Which would you recommend the most out of glenlevit 18, highland park 18, talisker 18 and the glenfiddich 18? Thanks
talisker. duh
Glenlivet is de beste one the 18 is perfect de glenfiddich 1i olso very good one personally I donth like the older smoked whikey bud that's my taste
I'm considering adding another Islay whisky to my fairly-new collection and thinking of an Ardbeg. The 10yo is at a reasonable price at the moment or would I be better to pay slightly more for one of the NAS bottles? Thanks
Paul Stoller Ardbeg Uggie is wonderful.
Paul Stoller can't go wrong with the 10
yes the ardbeg an oa is very good i have this one olso have the 10 years old ardbeg i am going to buy the other one olso in the video i normally never buy no age statment whiskey becouse i have good taste en i like old stuf basically bud ibought this one the ardbeg an oa its very good now i want to taste the other one olso i normally only buy 12 years or 18 years old en older bottels
Second cameras way better
Where is Corryvreckan? :’(
What is the weed guy recommending to an oa? Maybe some cheap skunk with seeds? 😂
aVailable NOT aWailable!!!
Don't be a dick, Joe

who gives a fuck
Hey Joe, how many languages do you speak?
