Whisky or Whiskey

Insider knowledge: Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist 16 Year Old 1990 whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist 16 Year Old 1990 whiskey, as opposed to whisky.

Airigh Nam Beist Bottling Note

This 16 year old was matured in ex-bourbon casks. The rather ominous 'Airigh Nam Beist' derives from the Scotch Gaelic for 'Shelter of the Beast'. Ardbeg describe this as "Ardbeg Icecream" - we couldn't agree more.

Airigh Nam Beist Tasting Note

Nose: Weighty and pungent. Big, dark peat notes and creosote. Almost like a burning tire, extinguished with powerful sea spray.
Palate: Full, but, surprisingly, unlike the nose. Full of cereal notes and dry wood with a leafy green quality. Sweet, dark almonds and walnuts and a thick cream, all stitched together with heavy smoke.
Finish: Powerful smoke creeps back in, creamy.

The best bottle of liquid we've ever had the pleasure of tasting. Strong, heavy peat, with very little heat and a very fragren nose...it's stunning and the next bottle will be hidden away, to be saved for a very special occasion.
