Ardbeg Special Release

Something good I hope? Uigeadail v2.0?

I read somewhere it could be something like "The son of Alligator", John Hansell tasted it and found it to be good, even if I cannot find the link anymore! I remembered he wondered if the chaps at Ardbeg had used the charred cask of the alligator as refill cask for a different release, but who knows?

Wow. Reusing the alligator casks would be something I would love to taste!! That deep smoke combined with the remaining flavors from previous use would be amazing.

@Marcus, I think that re-using Ardbeg Alligator Casks would make interesting results with almost any kind of whisky or spirit. I would love to sample a good Tequila Anejo aged in them, for example.

here's what I found about it, it's not much, but it sparks my interest

I did notice that the Whisky Advocate blog referred to by several was from June of 2011, and referenced last year's Alligator. The 2012 release, as I heard several times today, may be a follow up to that. It may be similar to the JW Double Black (but better!!)

Hey Marcus, My mail is that it will be called Crocodile... but who knows, that could be a release for later in the year. I do know however that it is on the cards!
