  • Ardbeg Supernova 2010 - A peat hammer!

    By galg on 23rd Aug 20102010-08-23T11:40:00

    Nose: Oh mama. Peat smoke in kilos. Alcohol is felt ok. I let it rest quite a bit in the glass before sniffing again. Under all those layers of peat you can find lemon zestiness, apples (green) some hints… read more

  • Ardbeg Blasda - Intriguing Session Whisky

    By jdcook on 15th Aug 20102010-08-15T13:59:00

    A friend of mine recently bought a bottle of this and was kind enough to let me have a dram. The wording around the traps on this bottle has been a little mixed. Even those who quite like it tend to say… read more

  • Ardbeg Supernova 2010 - Deeper, stronger, earthier?

    By WhiskyNotes on 27th Jul 20102010-07-27T08:35:00

    Nose: it shares the same elements as the 2009 edition: oily peat, pepper, tobacco and a touch of citrus and apple. There are bigger notes of graphite and phenols / gouache paint in the 2009 edition. On… read more

  • Ardbeg Corryvreckan - Whirlpool of flavours

    By markjedi1 on 27th Jul 20102010-07-27T07:16:00

    Ardbeg doesn’t really need an introduction, so I’ll save myself the trouble. This Ardbeg Corryvreckan (NAS) has a beautiful gold color with a green sheen and a great viscosity. I am sampling the standard… read more

    By widter on 26th Jul 20102010-07-26T18:01:00

    I tasted the 2010 twice now, it is very young and overly soapy. Like the Blasda but with peat - or like a combination of: a) the first Supernova release b) Rollercoaster (which I like quite a bit) c) a… read more
