I was wondering if anyone has tried this expression of Ardbeg. Someone was telling me about it and I can't recall it coming up in the Forum discussions at least recently. What's it like?

It was an excellent smooth creamy expression of Ardbeg which was a limited release which was replaced by the Ardbeg Corryvreckan

If i remember correctly the Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist 1990 was released in 2006 and one of the best expressions of Ardbeg i have tasted. I have 2 bottles still in the cabinet, i wish i purchased more when it was available.

There were 3 releases - released in 2006, 2007 and 2008. Bottling date is on the label on the back.

I recall that Tesco sold the Ardbeg Beast when it was released, you cant even get the 10 year old there these days.
