Very generous friend you have. It's not one of the best Ardbegs available but it is still an interesting dram. One option you could have is sell for the instant profit and wait to buy two new Ardbog (think 1st June is release day) That way you will have one to drink and one to keep.

I enjoyed the Ardbeg Alligator, not the greatest expression I have ever tasted but I would say it is still a very good Ardbeg.

For me it is always good to taste another expression of Ardbeg especially one you picked up for a decent price.

You only paid £50 for it so i would say drink it and enjoy.

From what I've been told its not the best Ardbeg, I'd off load it and pick up a Corry and a new Ardbog bottle when its released in June

The Ardbeg Alligator did have a bit of criticism which having tasted it i didnt understand, personally i rated highly and would jump at the chance of a bottle at £50
