This Uigeadail is a great scotch. I picked it up at my local spirits distributor over the summer and had been dreaming about another dram. I was so lucky to have found Thirdbase. Their price even with shipping was about $40 less than what I paid at the local place. Their ordering, processing, and shipping was A++ They shipped it within a day and I had the scotch 2 days later. I will definitely be ordering more from Thirdbase.
Regarding this scotch. It’s a rich heavy bodied and oily scotch, but in a good way. It’s much different in my opinion to a Lagavulin or Laphroig. It does have a nice smoky flavor and nose, but does not have near the amount as the afore mentioned and is missing the heavy iodiny taste. It has flavors reminiscent of peppered bacon, or a nice flash seared steak. But finished long with a nice toffee pudding taste and some vanilla undertones and even a little citrus pop at the end too. Again full of body and very leggy, but not in a bad way. I don’t typically add any water to my scotch as I prefer it neat, but this is a scotch because of its higher ABV, adding a little water does open it up a bit. But it’s also equally good neat. My opinion is the water makes the flavor profile slightly more spicy and peppery on the tongue and the palate on the finish.
All in all, this is hands down my favorite scotch right now. It ticks all the boxes for me, and I’m just so happy I found a place that delivers it at a more adorable price. If you’re on the fence about this one, pull the trigger, you can thank me later!
