Love this release and find similarity to the first batch. Either way it comes, it`s incredible. I agree with alectron, http://www.ardbegproject.com is great for facts. It is also a good gauge to check bottles authenticity if your purchasing online.

Remember it\'s maturity that makes whisky great! That\'s why I Love The Glenrothes!

Airigh Nam Beist 1990 is a delicious vintage bottling from the ongoing
success story that is Ardbeg. Sadly now discontinued due to exhausted
stocks, `the Beist` was an extremely popular Ardbeg, with assertive and
powerful peatiness and a lovely honeyed edge. Oh, and it`s pronounced
`Arry nam Baysht`.

I like my whisky old and my women young!

Most people know, but since this is simply wrong on here and people start citing it as fact - there is no `Batch 02` of ANB!
There have been multiple bottling runs in 2007, and judging by the time difference inbetween, these are most likely from different vatting runs as well.
So here are a few bottle codes from 2007, Courtesy of http://www.ardbegproject.com:

L7 058 06:07 4ML
L7 058 08:59 4ML 750ml US release
L7 143 05:54 4ML
L7 297 04:39 4ML
L7 325 23:28 4ML
L7 326 19:15 4ML 750ml US release

Remember - whisky scores and impressions are highly subjective and situational by nature - so don't go and buy whisky according to someone else's taste...

A true classic of the Ardbeg distillery, light vanilla sweetness is accompanied by strong Islay notes, sea, wind and peaty smoke, everything the heart of Islay. Oaky vanilla on the palate with a sparkling feeling. Islay with its sea and the peat, it feels like i`m sitting on the shore, warming with the sweet notes. A very pleasant finish. Thats what i expect today from an Ardbeg.
