Notes & Reviews

Shugg gave this whisky 65 points

Can`t get past the sulphur to the whisky. Huge disappointment.

Don`t think it is anything to do with bottle variation. Everyone should have a sample of this to discover if they can taste sulphur or not.

checkpointuk gave this whisky 92 points

I tried this one in Oostende in the Hotel Bero.

It was the best 10y Ardbeg i ever tasted.

There are perhaps spoilt bottles and good ones at the market !!!
