I wonder when we will see Ardbeg Gator this side of the water. It is no surprise they are releasing it first in the US market as it has a very American name "Gator". Obviously they are trying to get a big bite of the American market Laughing

I would guess we will see the Ardbeg Aligator here not long after the US release on the 16th April. I would imagine the usual mad dash to the Ardbeg website, hopefully they have that sorted now.

I had heard the Committee release of the Ardbeg Aligator would be in June but dont quote me on that.

Rumour is they have scraped their normal single cask bottling for feis ile but instead will be releasing 1300 bottles on the day to bring people to the distillery for the experiance and whisky not just to chase bottles.
Could it be the first public release of the new GATOR Laughing

Well said James "Hopefully it has a sensible drinkable price."

£50 - Â£60 would be nice, hopefully not another supernova price, but a supernova quality will be good. Smile

I noticed at the bottom of the page with the form to apply to attend the Ardbeg Alligator launch
https://www.mhusa.com/projects/ardbeg/celebration2011/form.asp

It states: Ardbeg Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 57.3% Alc./Vol
I wonder if this is referring to the ABV of the Ardbeg Alligator
