Ardbeg

Not sure of the spelling. Smells like a mix between coal tar soap and creosote. Tastes like cough medicine.

Probably not what they say in their tasting notes but bloody lovely.

Hi WCA,

where do you buy it from - sounds like I might like it.

Cheers

Ardbeg is a fairly long-term favourite of the STW whi[i]sky[/i] brigade, turns up on virtually every whisky thread! It is lovely stuff.

Ardbeg isn't a whiskey - it's a [i]whisky[/i].

Sorry to be pedantic, but then I do live in Scotland!
