Uigeadail translated from Gaelic means “a dark and mysterious place.” How fitting for this intriguing Ardbeg expression, that is strikingly addictive, and best when consumed neat in the appropriate setting. However, it may be difficult to set the perfect mood on a whim, so let’s tame this extraordinary whisky, to make it approachable anytime and anywhere, by incorporating a bold and balancing vanilla liqueur and a splash of water.
