Appreciate your take…I’m kinda over Ardbeg… been there done that… however this sounds tempting and starting to see it being discounted…for the prices they are charging I agree it should be a higher abv. Cheers 🥃
Hi mam I like ardbeg a lot, I just went to the liquor store a couple of days ago and saw a bottle of the spectacular sitting on the shelves, I'm an ardbeg fan, and almost bought the bottle,but held back because I didn't know why because you never see any ardbeg (just sitting)so I passed it up. The box was almost all black, so I didn't know anything about that whisky, should I go pick it up, I live about 50 miles from the liquor store, one way, if you liked it that much, should I go get it ?? It seems you enjoyed it alot, have you tried the ardbeg arrrrrrrbeg yet, it's hard to find but we'll worth the price when I bought my bottle ($200.00) I don't know why more people aren't watching your reviews, because I love your channel, and I always do when they come out, cheers brother and keep up the great reviews, looking forward to your answers on the ardbeg spectacular (committee or non committee release) !!!

@christinecamley Hi if you like ardbeg as much as I do, then you need to find a bottle of the ardbeg arrrrrrrbeg committee release from a few years ago, I hope this doesn't put you off, but on the neck pour from the bottle tates like water from a garden hose that has had hot water left in it, but give it about a month in the bottle to get some air, and come back to it, and you just can't believe how good it will taste, it blew my mind, it tastes like a totally different whisky, delicious to say the least, it's nothing like the neck pour, it's one to die for, I have one last bottle and don't want to open it, but I will sooner or later, I payed $200.00 a bottle, now I think it's around $300.00 on the secondary market, for me it's still worth what ever the price is, cheers, and hope you can find a bottle !!!
I love that it is being discounted, as they disillusion whisky lovers, actual lovers of whisky not people who fall for hype/marketing and fancy labels - I hhope it crashes and they stop doing stupid cynical shit. But yeah, I am over new ardbeg too tbh, the older one is commanding so stupid price wise so yeah.
Loved this beauty! Love seeing your reviews starting back up! They are fabulous! You crack me up my friend!! Ballsy rocks!! 🙂I would also prefer a higher ABV but this is an Ardbeg worth buying and Ardbeg fans are loving it. I'm happy to have a few bottles! For peated scotch lovers it's hard to imagine giving up on Ardbeg! I'm a bigger Kilkerran fan than Springbank although I have a couple of older Springbanks to try. Love you videos! Glad you are safely back in gorgeous NZ! I miss it!!
Kilkerran is a puncher for sure, love it as well, I have put the word out to suppliers i want the 18/19yo release when it is out sbs have gotten too expensive and they are good on ballot primary prices but secondary gets silly> good to be back and this ardbeg is certainly a better one of late but imo still diminished compared to earlier releases but hey... such is life.
Speaking about packaging, LVMH really f’d up Glenmorangie’s packaging. It was so classic but now it seems like they want to target children and the visually impaired
hahaha Well, confidence i guess influences but yeah. Almost spectacular ... not quite actually not almost, in that direction but not there or close but certainly not the worst of the terrible shit that has come out lately
