Ardbeg Kelpie

"On 16th March 2017, another elusive bottling will surface: Ardbeg Kelpie Committee Exclusive.... "

Anyone like to guess what it will be and how much?

This has been on the TTB site in the states since the end if last year; all forthcoming bottlings must have their labels approved prior to release and the site is publicly searchable so you can see what distilleries have planned......if you've got time and you're a geek

It uses virgin casks of new oak that hail from the Republic of Adygea. So I imagine intense and sea tasting Ardbeg. Probably quite Corryvrecken like.


51.7% ans I think it's $130 over there so it'll be about the same over here...£130ish.

Will check

That'll be the one.


Of course, not all labels go to make a bottling. Due to the regulations in America distilleries often put several names or label designs in and they don't always release a bottling. They have to get them in just in case. Still......geekworthy stuff so I love it. What else am i going to do? Facetweet or whatever it's called, got better things to do like searching for labels!!

That DVD collection of yours needs re-alphabetasising.

Just battled the Ardbeg/Moet website and secured this. Long time since I've tasted Ardbeg

Have always been an Ardbeg fan so couldn't resist, I got a couple of bottles also.

Sold out was out all day. If anyone fancies a swap with a Dark Cove committee release do let me know.
