| Front w/box and Tasting Notes - Traditional Strength on bottle and box (2003 box had no ABV or Content size on the front. Added in 2004). |
|
| Back w/box and Tasting Notes - 2003 and 2004 boxes have the year on the back, and it seems the date was removed from the back of the box sometime in late 2004. |
|
| Front w/box and Tasting Notes - NCF on bottle with 2004 TS box. |
|
| Front of "old" design and box with NCF on both the bottle and box. The change from the old sturdy "Flip-Top" box occured somewhere between Day 137 and Day 237 in 2005, but many "Flip-Top" boxes have been found with more recent bottles, whether it is due to an old stock of boxes or consumers/collectors replacing the new boxes with the old ones. The US soft box originally had Brown-Forman on the front, but was changed to Moet-Hennessy in the beginning of 2006. |
|
| New Design using the "6ML" bottling line, and released in 2009. Label seems to be a little smaller, with some minor differences. There is also a 2009 release of Uigeadail using the "4ML" bottling line and the old packaging. |
|
| Front labels. |
| NOTE: A Label change was made on the Uigeadail between day 272 and 315 of 2004. The Post code was added to front label, and the "Traditional Strength" in gold was changed to "Non-Chill Filtered". In addition, the back label no longer carried the bottled year. |

| Bottle Codes for Uigeadail, including any other Expressions bottled on the same day or within hours of Uigeadail. |

*-Codes have been submitted with "4VL" for an "OLD" TEN and Uigeadail June of 2005, but I need to confirm that it is not just a worn or faulty "M" producing this result. On initial inspection, the two 'normally' vertical lines of the "M" in the "ETCHED" bottle code seem to be blurred close to the diagonal lines, creating the reported "V". However, a more detailed description of the bottling line references will be needed.
#-I received confirmation that an Ardbeg fan from Germany bought an Uigeadail (L7 325 21:06 4ML) from his local store, but the label was similar to the Swiss release.
