Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist 16 Year Old 1990

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.

A nice dram, but a bit strong on the Bourbon for my liking. It does have a rich peatiness however which lets you know that you are drinking a mature Ardbeg. Strong nose of tobacco pouch. Tastes of bourbon and finishes with long satisfying peat.

This is the most pungent 'standard' strength Ardbeg. It's full bodied, peaty, tarry, tobaccoey but not overly ethanolic. If you want big weight without the high alcohol content, this is your dram!

I found this similar to the 10yo but much smoother, gentler peat smoke and creamier. A Islay relaxation malt indeed, I Love it. Can be hard to find these days, buy whenever you can find it.

I can't believe how good this whisky is. Nothing compares!

The best Islay I've tasted. Wish I had another on my shelf. Who's running Ardbeg these days? Alligator?, Galileo???

Got a bottle about half ayear ago and saved it because of its rarity but got my hands on another the other day so getting stuck into this bottle and oh my god what a dram it is.smoother than the 10 and amazing.will make sure i work my way through this one very slowly.
