Nice one Phil, I was waiting for this! I also managed to get my hands on this one but due to me being out of UK right now I have to wait until June to try it. Initial reports are all positive so I'm very excited about it. Cheers 🥃
Fabulous new release! I can't wait until I can access it in Canada! Reasonably priced and I am always excited for a peated Islay scotch whisky!! The Lagavulin 11 Offerman 4th edition is sure worth a try! Delicious!! I bought a case! Great video! Cheers! 🙂
Thanks for the review! I’ve been excited for this release since I heard they were using worm tubs…..now I have to wait for it to make its way to the US.
Hi Phil, thanks for this exellent review. Maybe I will get a bootle from the UK direct (my nephew is in London for holidays) or I will get a bottle from my local shop here in Germany. I saw the Ardnahoe Distillery under construction while being on Islay in autumn 2017. Cheers my friend
Seeing it under construction and now getting to taste the liquid is such a good story from your perspective! It'll be in Europe soon enough. Either way, you'll enjoy it!
Finally, first video I see of this new distillery. I wonder if some of their Scarabus had a younger version of their official single malt. Great video, thanks 👋
That's an interesting question... I know their new Park Circus is essentially ancient grain with Port Ellen and Springbank. But I'll ask and see! Thank you!
Thanks for the review, I got a bottle last week so it's good to get someone else's view on their experience with it. Personally I am really impressed and will look forward to seeing what the distillery releases next.
Cheers for the excellent review - really looking forward to trying it now. I ordered direct from the distillery so I might even have it by this time next year…..
Hi Phil ! Greetings from Georgia, Tbilisi ) I am member of the Whisky Club , Several members buy this whisky and are hosting a tasting . They paid about 85 euros for one bottle .Slainte !
I emailed them about bottle amounts released and got this reply, Thanks for your e-mail At this point, the number of bottles has not been divulged Best wishes Billy Visitor Centre Team
These numbers are all still unverified by Hunter Laing. The UK first week launch was only around 5,500 bottles. But we'll see. Its such nice liquid and thats the most important part.
I've got serious "limited inaugural release" fatigue especially when distilleries are asking $140, so I've opted out. Nothing against Ardnahoe but as they say on Shark Tank........I'm Out!
I don't blame you for this, especially after the last 4 years of the whisky market. Hopefully it'll appear in a bar or a friend buys one and you can try it. But this point of view is more than reasonable.
