#ardbeg — Public Fediverse posts

The auction unpacking continued with Ardbeg.

The Anthology The Beithir's Tale 15 year, the third in the series.

The Traigh Bhan 19 year batch 6. Batch 7 has finally popped up in an auction, and I'm stalking it like a Pokemon.

And Homecoming, a rum-finished Ardbeg normally only available at the distillery or Ardbeg House.

I swung back into Julio's Liquors last week to pick up another couple of bottles they were holding for me.

The new Ardbeg Dolce is the latest annual Ardbeg Day special release. Finished in ex-Bourbon and Marsala dolce wine casks.

The Pinhook 10 year rye "Finish Line" is part of the ongoing Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society vertical series. Each year a parcel of the same rye is bottled, just one year older than the last. The first release was aged 4 years and, despite the name, this isn't the end of the line yet.

Into the daylight. After years in the cool quiet darkness of the bonded warehouse, a cask of what has become Scotch whisky heads off for bottling at Ardbeg Distillery on the Isle of Islay. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/islay/ardbegdistillery/index.html

I'm not really a 'peat head', but I do enjoy peat at times. And my preference tends to be the 'sweet peat' of Ardbeg.

I picked up the 23 year old Vintage Y2K 'blue' edition, the 25 year old, and the 19 year Traigh Bhan 04 (still looking for 07) - and the new Cask Strength 10, which came from Julio's Liquors

#Islay is the home to my favorite Whiskies. #Lagavulin tops my list, but #Laphroaig and #Ardbeg are also fantastic! Just across the little bay from Lagavulin is the ruins of Dunyvaig Castle.

Recent pickups from Julio's Liquors.

First up, Ardbeg Smokiverse, this year's Fèis Ìle release. This just came in for those who had pre-ordered it, as I had, and will be generally available soon for Ardbeg Day.

Next up, Pinhook 9 year Straight Rye Whiskey "The Home Stretch. This is part of the Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society vertical series which sees a new release each year, each one year older than the last. I've been collecting these since it started and I'm planning to wait for it to end, then do a gathering to side-by-side all of them. It will end when it ends - basically whenever another year starts to be too much.

Then Bully Boy Distillers Straight Bourbon Whiskey "Wickeder Dahk". Another Loch & Key bottling, this is obviously a follow up to the earlier "Wicked Dahk" bottle. (If you're wondering about the spelling, think Boston accent.)

And finally, Alma del Jaguar Tequila Nocturne. We tried their range at a recent Whisk(e)y Wednesday at Julio's Liquors - the standard Blanco, Reposado, and Anejo, and this one. Their standard line ferments 20% with champagne yeast and 80% with wild yeast, and they were all very good. But Nocturne is 100% wild yeast and I thought it was the best of the lot, and very affordable, so I grabbed one.

Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 5th edition. I'd initially passed these up, but they've been coming up at auction for pretty low low bids, so I've recently picked up all five. This is just the first to arrive.

And, just to avoid another post, Maker's Mark Cellar Aged 2024.

I picked up a few bottles from Julio's Liquors recently. The Russell's Reserve Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society "Buddha-ful" 9-year straight bourbon, celebrating Julio's 50th year. The WhistlePig Whiskey Snout-to-Tail 10-year bourbon. Ardbeg Eureka! Committee Release. Maker's Mark Loch & Key "Second Curtain", the last of that stave combination. And Black Tot Rum 2021 Master Blender's Reserve Rum. I was missing this one (I have 22-24) and was pleasantly surprised to find Julio's still had it.

Go Whiskey Week is coming up fast. Tickets to events are selling out, so jump on those.

Tonight's pick-ups from Julio's Liquors Whiskey Wednesday. As you can tell, I do enjoy rye.

Tonight was a great Beam Suntory tasting by Allie Klug, and I came away with the A. Overholt Monongahela Mash Rye and the Basil Hayden Malted Rye.

I also picked up the Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society Pinhook 8 year Rye "Clubhouse Turn", which is the fifth bottle in an ongoing multi-year vertical.

And, not a rye, but the latest Ardbeg, Spectacular.

Three positive things for today:

1. Home-made Chicken Tikka Masala for diner. 😋
2. Started actual woodworking today. Made a bunch of sawdust, scraps, mistakes, and even roughed out a few parts. 🙂
3. #Ardbeg 10 year old #Scotch #Whisky (#ScotchWhisky) 🥃

One of the last #whisky drams we tried was perhaps the youngest #Ardbeg ever bottled (oops, I mean “Red Bag”) — 3 years old, with that punch from just barely aging out of being new make, but also still obviously having that lovely Ardbeg citrusy smoke, with a red wine barrique finish. *God* it was amazing.

Look out for the #Dramfool 3rd “Red Bag” bottling when you get the chance. Indescribably good. The other two Red Bag bottlings are among my tops too, but this is next level.
