Ardbog

[William]

You have probably heard already, this years Ardbeg Day whisky will be named Ardbog. It will be launched on the 1st of June which they have rernamed Ardbog Day.

Ardbog is matured for ten years in traditional American oak ex-bourbon barrels and rare ex-Spanish Manzanilla sherry butts. It is bottled at 52.1% ABV, non chillifiltered and will be available from www.ardbeg.com when it is launched or if you are lucky enough to be at the Islay Festival you can pick a bottle up at the distillery.

A herried Ardbeg at 52.1%, I think i will be having a bottle.

William, do you know the number of bottles?

[James T]

Yes i will be in the queue for this one, well the online queue at least. As i buy whisky to drink and enjoy and not to make £50 or so on a limited release i hope they are releasing a truck load of it so if i enjoy it i can then buy a 2nd bottle if i wish.

Think I will try a couple of bottles of this if available.
I always find Ardbeg a tough bottle to drink.....until a third of the way down and whoosh there goes the night!!

Better with every glass. I know, thats not the right way to "enjoy it"


But one to drink and one to chuck in the cupboard with the rest. It may go up in value but Ive a sneaky suspsicion that blended whisky will take its turn back on the swings and roundabouts and the worst that can happen is I have a bottle to share at a special moment.

After all......what else can you look at with a smile on your face that can so........annoy the other half without her being able to express her disgust?

If ever she moans about a bottle.......
....I say ok...Ill drink the damn thing and get rid of it. Its funny, but all of a sudden it isnt quite the problem it was 10 seconds earlier.

Bless.....I love her, I just dont like her!

With the Ardbeg Corryvreckan now £65 plus depending where you shop i expected the Ardbog Day whisky to be more than £79.99

[Genuine Risk]

Think i was expecting it to be nearer the £65 mark as that is what i paid for the 12 year old Galileo, it will still sell out though.

You can still pick up the Corry for less than £53 if you know where to look But agree that is not the norm.

You can still pick up the Ardbeg Corryvreckan from World of Whiskies at the airport £57

At least the Ardbog will be available from the Ardbeg website. I havent read anywhere what the number of bottles available will be.

Does anyone know how many bottles they are going to release... I heard a number of 20,000 bottles.. is that correct?

Cheers

with waitrose selling the Ardbeg 10 @ £36 atm its hard to make an argument for a bottle of Ardbeg @ £88.50 (incl.P&P)

2 bottles of 10 seems like the sensible choice
