I found her also. Had a quick browse through the new site also, not a big difference. What i did notice was when you select the "Whisky" page and then select a whisky, you then need to select either the Aroma, Taste or Finish for that whisky individually which is a bit strange why is the whole tasing note not on the same page?

Got her. I see what you mean about the tasting note, seems like they are trying to stretch out the content of the site.

I think they could be asking for trouble with there "Talk Dirty To Me" promotion



Asking men who have been drinking to talk dirty to attractive young girls.

yes a surprising promotion for the UK market in todays politically correct society. Still nice to see a pretty girl promoting whisky.

Yes a great prize.

I see they havent done away with or at least improved the age verification when you log in, i dont know about others but i find this a pain in the a**e. Why cant they at least have drop down boxes to select the age rather than having to type in the actual date and does anyone actually type in there true date of birth. Moan over.

I agree the age verification is a pain not only at Ardbeg but most distillery websites. Why they dont just have a tick box age verification i dont know and as you say Keith Ardbeg is more of a pain as you have to actually type in your DOB.

I totally agree the age verification is a pain, i appreciate why the whisky companies do it but it could be made easier, as Carson says a a tick box age verification would be good.
