Whisky or Whiskey

What's in a name? Ardbeg Alligator whisky is called whisky because it's produced in Scotland. Were it from America it would be spelled Ardbeg Alligator whiskey, rather than whisky.

Alligator Bottling Note

Strictly limited to 2 per customer

It's finally here! The hotly anticipated official release of Ardbeg Alligator will simply fly off our shelves! It's aged in a similar style to the standard 10 year old, except for the fact that a portion of the whisky was aged in heavily charred barrels. The barrels are charred to such an extent that they start to crack a little on the inside, and this resembles alligator skin, thus the name. The committee release of Ardbeg Alligator was exceptional and incredibly popular. This will follow suit...

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose: Stunning aromas of charcoal, mulled wine and lemon icing sugar. Very creamy, with notes of vanilla and yoghurt, with a huge BBQ note. Some gingerbread and tangy apricots, and burning brown sugar.

Palate: Creamy and zesty, with a huge whack of grapefruit and lemon, as well as BBQ sauce, ginger and orange zest. Like a really toasty rye whiskey in parts, with hints of icing sugar, cocoa, gingernut biscuits and intense smoke.

Finish: Sweet and creamy with peppery, crackling peat smouldering away for hours.

Overall: One of the best Ardbegs we've ever tasted. A mind-blowing malt!

User Reviews of the Ardbeg Alligator

Lovely

I found the peat in this Ardbeg to be quite soft and smooth. Great flavours, quite different from the other Ardbegs in the current range. Lovely whisky.

Extraordinary stuff - just incredible and to my mind worth every penny. If it's back in stock snap it up. You won't regret it.

Sorry - that last review should have been a 10. My slow brain fixated on the 5 star display and assumed the rating dropdown worked on the same scale. Master of Malt - a free website usability assessment for you there.

Andy Murray

Superb whisky, great peat and very smooth. Slightly different to the committee release but nearly as good and for half the price of a CR bottle. Well done Ardbeg.....

The Swede

I´m new to Whisky and honestly I don´t always find whisky drinkable but this Alligator stuff is "the water of life", the best I´ve tried so far!!!

Bobbert

It has a somewhat slippery initial texture that becomes almost scaly as it wraps you up.. It takes you into an amazing death roll of surprises before the dark inexplicable satisfaction overwhelmes your tongue and you gasp for air.. An eternal aftertaste lingers on and on once you see the light.. I've got two bottles and I'm scared to touch them..

Another greatness from Ardbeg

I like these one a lot. I got 2. One is drunk up, the other one is for keep.
