    By alteredstate on 16th May 20132013-05-16T16:24:00

    The Corryvreken's mystical bottle design portends ominous tidings indeed! As I huddle in my dark drafty cave and gaze upon my row of potential drams by the dim flickering candlelight, i find myself p… read more

    After the distillery being mothballed in 1983, this whisky here really shows what a long way they've come. This was my second Ardbeg after having had the privilege of tasting a 1993 single cask as my … read more

  • Ardbeg Corryvreckan - Corryctional Concoction

    By vanPelt on 26th Apr 20132013-04-26T22:42:00

    Nose: After first pour, you notice smoky salt: The smoke is of the ashy variety, and the saltiness is sharp-- as if flavored with lemon crystals or another nose-stinging additive like pine or menthol. A… read more

  • Ardbeg Alligator - A Mean Ardbeg

    By vanPelt on 26th Apr 20132013-04-26T22:35:00

    Nose: Briny leather strikes you at first pour; rubbery kind of peat that eventually fades to that lemon pudding impression. Behind this arrives a fresh garden rhubarb, or the bitter skin of a fruit. … read more

    Nose: at first very soft but impressions of banana cream pie and macadamia nuts. If inhaled too deeply/quickly/fully, a sharp anise of pumpernickel. A few minutes, then pencil erasers join in, then the… read more

    Ardbeg Uigeadail turned out to be just as good as everyone was talking about it. Though bottled at cask strength, I still managed to make it brilliant for my taste with few drops of water (I usually don't… read more

    91

    Cask strength, non-chill filtered, no caramel added Ardbeg. I feel like I could wrap up the review here... 7yo Ardbeg aged in a 1st fill ex-sherry butt. “An Engineer’s Lunch-Box” @59.7% ABV and 1/602 … read more

    I would not have imagined that the smell of smoky, rubbery, sweet rose petals would make my mouth water, so this must be a special mix. It took me a long time to analyze this, because there is something… read more

    If anyone wants to know how to build a cult following have them intern with the folks over at Ardbeg. Who would have thought of sending new make spirit up in space? And then releasing an expression co… read more
