Long time Ardbeg core fan. Hated the Scorch, and basically gave up on their special releases... This is something I really like, bought it last year , loved it, and bought two more this year. Just had the first of this year's buy last night and as much as I love the core - love this much better/more. Sometimes in somethings to get say 20 percent better you have to pay 100 pc more. Perhaps this is such a thing. That aside, while I recall there was a special committee members only (free memberships so what's that worth?) i think it was pretty much the same as the one being sold all over. Then again the prices are all over the place. I just saw one for $699? And I thought $200 was pushing it.
Agree agree agree. Bart
Thanks guys. I'm in the same boat as Bart. I used to want to chase all the new releases when they came out before the prices jumped but now I have been holding and being a hit more cautious with the bottles I have been buying. Especially with the increase in prices all around.
👍
It’s ridiculous what some of these distilleries have been doing with prices. At some point, customers need to take a stand and say “no, I’m no longer buying the brand”. There are plenty of alternatives out there.
Was just wondering about the volume thing ! Thanks for the review still need to crack mine
Cheers Jacob!
Thanks!
Awesome! thank you Randall!
Love Ardbeg. Haven't had any committee releases yet. Great review.
thanks Keith!
GOOD morning Scott & Bart! Slàinte Mhath 🥃
Morning Ben! thanks for watching!
Ardbeg can do no wrong as far as I can tell. Love the core line.
absolutely
The Fermutation was absolutely amazing. I have not tried any of the others.
never saw that one on a shelf.
Uigadauhl used to cost $65 at Costco. I’d see it all the time. Now I can’t find one for under $95. I really enjoy it but it has surpassed the amount I am willing to pay for a NAS whisky
great comment, thanks David
I actually saw that bottle at R&J where the guys bought it and passed. Just couldn’t convince myself it was worth $200. Aggregate of the reviews I’ve checked seem to indicate it’s really good, but nothing to make it a $200 bottle.
Bart doesn’t disagree with you
Got the Scortch. Got the Ardcore. Saw the Hypernova but passed due to price and lack of being blown away by the other 2. Will look to core line next.
thanks fishesdeep!
This will be my first committee release purchase, hopefully delivery goes well, can't wait to get back and give it a try.
We think you will enjoy it.
I’m with Bart, I use to buy anything and everything from Ardbeg. Now just like with any Scotch whisky, I always try before I buy❗️❗️❗️
nice, thanks Chad!
Try Kilkerran Peat in progress. Just as good as Octomore for 1/3 of the price
Nice
Are you guys missing a few recent committee releases? I thought you did them all. Hmm….Ardcore and maybe Arrrrrrbeg? I don’t remember seeing those. I’d be happy to send in a bottle to support the channel.
we never saw either Ardcore or Arrrrrrdbeg. you can email us a scotchtestdummies@gmail.com
Accent is rough...
Review is proper!!!
Lol
Watching y'all do a side-by-side comparison was great even if it was a bit apples:oranges. Made me think it's time for another 16-bottle blind shootout Dummies style.
We do love our blind shootouts!
I feel like you threw in the comparison just for this peathead 😊. I look forward to the super v hyper comparison.
Boom!
2:53 I thought Bart was gonna sip it through his nose 😮
That would be hard core!
I am #teamardbeg and have enjoyed the Aardcore. I can get the Hypernova for $200, but that price makes me pause.
yea its a tough call
honestly i think i would rather have the scorch over this but i also like the Ugidail over any other ardbeg. Maybe i am different for saying so but hey that's just how i am.
Uigea is a great dram!
I finally found an abc store in my area (NC) that had the Uigedail, which was what I went there for, and saw they had the Hypernova behind the counter for 200 bucks could it be that much better?
No but it is very very good. Bart
Man the hate for Scorch. I thought Scorch was great! Scorch is meant to be more oak and char flavor than super peaty but I wonder what the Committee release was like.. Also ~$130 > then paying $250-$300 for Hyper nova
thanks Flatcap, some really liked Scorch, it was a miss for both of us...
The 10yo is still one of the best, for the price.
True
I’ll stick with the Ardbeg core range. Especially the Wee Beastie. But , IMO , the An Oa lacks depth and complexity.
Understood
$200 is getting crazy. On sale I can buy 3 Oogies for the same price
Bingo
Bahahah that was a good one.
is that a good Bahahah?!
Oooooooh YEEEEAAAH!
👍
Too many Ardbeg releases and have not been overly impressed.
You never pour yourself a dram first.
Interesting
Ardbeg special releases are almost victim to their own success, why fork out the cash when their core range is so good, readily available and affordable.
But of course I would spend some $$$ on a Dark Cove hahaha
True
Too much money
Thanks Ryan! Scott
