Ardbeg reviews

Let this be said, im not a big Ardbeg fan. All this hype and malarky the distillery has been engaging in has really turned me off. These days Ardbeg have many expressions which i dont think are worth…

Here are my notes from a bottle I finished a few months ago:Size: Generous Dram in GlencairnN: Vanilla, peat, bonfire smoke, vanilla, kombucha.P: Dark chocolate, turbinado sugar, sherry, grilled aspar…
