Hi Matt, Thanks for this nice review. I stopped buying the Ardbeg special releases because of the price and for me there are to many "special" releases now. What I do is that I always try to get a sample. My sample is at home still waiting to be tasted after returning from my autumn holidays. Enjoying autumn in the Ardennes. Cheerio
Hi Matt, nose wise I enjoyed the Spectacular. Taste wise it was okay for me. I did not regret to buy a sample. A full would have been to much.@@whiskyforeveryone
For me it lacked a bit of oomph at 46% rather than the usual committee bottling strength. A bit underpowered but nice enough, although a little pricey for what it is.

That sounds amazing. Have a great holiday. And let us know what you think when you’ve tried your sample 😊🥃

That pup's got olfactory receptors 10,000 to 100,000 times ours. Probably could smell the smoke! 😂
Cheers Matt! 🥃

Haha yes. It was asking for a dram I think 😆🥃
Matt - great review! Loved the Spectacular. Very much like a better version of the 10 YO with more charcoal smoke. Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words and so glad you enjoyed it 😊🥃

Can’t disagree with any of that really but we found it very enjoyable. And good use of the word ‘oomph’ - we like that 👏👏
