Ardbeg An Oa BBQ Smoker 750mL is a special-edition Islay single malt that celebrates Ardbeg’s smoky heritage with a bold, barbecue-inspired twist. Presented in distinctive BBQ Smoker packaging, this release highlights the rich, rounded character of Ardbeg An Oa, matured in a combination of Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, virgin oak, and ex-bourbon barrels before being married in the Ardbeg Gathering Vat.

Smooth yet powerfully smoky, Ardbeg An Oa delivers layers of peat smoke, dark chocolate, smoked meat, black pepper, caramel, anise, roasted nuts, and subtle citrus zest. Compared to some of Ardbeg’s sharper expressions, An Oa is known for its rounder, creamier texture and balanced sweetness, finishing long with warming smoke and maritime salinity.
