The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Ardbeg An Oa is a modern addition to the distillery's core lineup, first introduced in 2017 as the first new permanent expression from Ardbeg in a decade. It's a marriage of spirit matured in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, virgin charred oak, and ex-bourbon casks, then blended together in the distillery's custom-built "Gathering Vat" to create a more rounded, mellow style of Ardbeg.
Compared to Ardbeg's more intense expressions, An Oa offers a softer entry point into the distillery's smoky Islay style: expect gentle peat smoke balanced with dark chocolate, toffee, and dried fruit sweetness from the PX casks, finishing warm and smooth with lingering spice. It's an excellent gateway dram for drinkers new to peated whisky, and works well neat, on ice, or in a whisky-based cocktail. Try it alongside grilled meats or aged cheddar.
An Oa proves that Ardbeg can do balance as well as intensity. Shop this approachable Islay single malt whiskey online at Habits Bottle Shop for a smoky dram with broad appeal.
What To Expect In The Glass
Whiskey
Ways To Pour It
Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
