ARDBOG DAY

[JAB]

JUST GOT THIS EMAIL




Dear Committee Member,

It doesn't take much digging around the internet to discover what Ardbeg is up to. However, here is the first nugget to emerge about what we can all look forward to on 1st June 2013 or - to give it its official title - Ardbog Day.

Yes, you read it correctly. Forthwith, Ardbeg Day 2013 will be known as Ardbog Day.



To those who nose their peaty whisky, the peat bogs of Islay are the sacred ground from whence the peatiness within every drop of Ardbeg hails.

And to honour our beloved Islay landscape and the secrets that lie buried beneath it, we are launching a Limited Edition bottling named Ardbog.

Bottles of Ardbog will be available from 1st June 2013. And more details about Ardbog Day will follow in the coming months.

So make sure it's in your diary - then you can look forward to the greatest day on (peaty) earth.

Slainte!
Mickey Heads
Committee Chairman

I wonder how much the Ardbeg Day bottling will be this year and where we will be able to get our hands on it without visiting an embassey.

I will be on Islay so wonder if they will do a distillery only bottle or just a general release at a embassey!

There is an embassy up here in Edinburgh (Royal Mile Whiskies) so I should be able to lay my hands on a bottle if I so desire, the last couple have been around the £50/£60 mark, so I would hope this would be much the same.

What was wrong with Ardbeg Day

Anyone remember how much last years release cost?
