Time In The Bottle | Ardbeg Spectacular VS Ardbeg 5 Year Old Cask Strength Blend

Hi folks. This is a new series I am starting up - where I try out bottles that have been sitting for a while, and see if there are any changes. For today the Ardbeg Spectacular has been open for around 7 months now, and the Ardbeg 5 year old blend for over a year. Hope you enjoy this new series and my thights :)

I really like this idea for a new series. Your Ardbeg video got me thinking and I finally took the plunge on my first Ardbeg. I was thinking about Wee Beastie, however as it is my first Ardbeg, I went with the 10 year old for now.

The 10 year old is a solid bottle mate, and a great introduction to the distillery. In my opinion one of the best 10 year olds from Islay, if not the best. I think you went with the right choice by getting the 10 year old over the Wee Beastie. Let me know how you get on with it mate 🥃
