Thats a different bottle, namely the 12 year old version.
The discussion is about the non- aged Gold.
However, the 12 year old Gold Cask may also be discontinued now. |

Not very often that an Ardbeg new release doesn't provoke a discussion on here.
Anybody go for it?
Personally I didn't. Had a quick look at the initial email but couldn't establish if it was a Comm ... |

You can pick up older editions on eBay. Great for dating bottles. |

Is anyone else seeing the signs of the whisky bubble bursting, or is it simply just the state of the economy? In fact, are these two things one and the same thing, or can they even be separate element ... |

For the first time ever I declined their offer. I think I made the right decision. They may do well in the longer term but not for me. |
