That's is Whiskyisart. Everyone has their own value criteria, Ardbeg have long exceeded my thresholds.

People have been saying for years that Ardbeg have been pushing their luck, yet here we are st ...

This all depends on how you attribute value;

Is it against how it tastes?
Is it against you're enjoyment?
If it against future prices?
Is it against an arbitrary number slapped on a bottle, that ...

I'm fairly sure that all of the editions are just the order they are released.

i.e. 2004 first release will be laid down in 2004 and is the first from that 'vintage'.

Third release will be laid ...

One of the very reasons I checked out of the Scotch market, on the whole, about 5 years ago. Still buy and drink the odd bottle but its not been my main tipple for some years. This isn't a new thing.

*some stuff*

.....but my favourite bottle I've owned is probably the Balblair 1983.

I have to say, mine too. Forget all this finish in this, toasted with that. 100% bourbon cask, and just ...

I was wondering when sorren would turn up to plug his blog. Likely been so busy drinking all those free samples Laughing

My first thoughts were Bowmore, which ...

I do understand that many reviewers provide scores for whisky they buy, and they tend to buy what they like, so scores will be skewed high, but shy prior reviewer worth their salt should be buying &qu ...

Don't ever trust a reviewer that has never given a bad review. Theres plenty if rubbish out there and if it's always rated a minimum of "average" then I take no notice. These 100 point scale ...

Defo Serge. I think the important thing eith reviewersis to find one that has a similar presence and/or palate style to your own. Like TheWM I tend to find myself making notes and reading Serge's revi ...
