I'll go with :
Very Young
10
Renaissance
Uigeadail *new and older version*
Airigh Nam Beist

.. won't get my Blasda before November though :wink:

by **Willie JJ** » Mon Sep 22, 2008 9:45 pm

I'll just need to make sure I don't start with the Renaissance. :roll:

The stuff is just rubbish isn't it....surely if you started with that, it'd spoil everything afterwards.

by **Ras Mazunga** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 8:57 pm

Already open:
10yo 2007
Renaissance
Corryvreckan

I might buy an Uigeadail and an Airigh Nam Beist before the tasting but will not open them both.

One can never have too many bottles of Ardbeg open Ras!! :thumbsup:

You are very right Ryan, as soon as I posted I realised it is gibberish.

It's ok Ras! I'm really looking forward to this tasting. I've got lots of nice Ardbeg samples to try already, with more on the way!

by **TheTross** » Thu Sep 25, 2008 9:38 pm

I can currently bring the following:

Ten L8
Ten L8 (new bottling)
Renaissance

I also have a Ten miniature with the first part of the bottling code being 'L3', so whether this is a 2003 bottling or not I'm not sure - don't know if the bottling codes work the same for miniatures or not. Would be good to compare to the other Tens if it was though!

by **Spirit of Islay** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 12:59 am

Some pretty impressive line ups there guys , especially Tim and Ryan !
Still undecided on my line up thought of the current off the shelf line up first......
Ten
Blasda
ANB
Renaissance
Oogie
LOTI
Then thought about something along the lines of Tims 2nd one....
VYA
AVY
ASY
AAT
Renaissance

What about a few Committee Bottles.....
What about the independents.....

Oh god too much choice :headbang:

by **lohssanami** » Sun Sep 28, 2008 1:10 am

Gordon,

It would be good to try the VYA as well, but I'm sure I'll try it one day.

You have quite the lineup for that day.

:thumbsup:

I'd suggest a small variety. Maybe along the lines of Sigbig, Cadbeg, CC, a 1970s, Renaissance and new Ten.

Any and all Ardbegs are welcome! More notes the merrier!! :thumbsup:

by **Willie JJ** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 5:25 pm

Its very depressing, but I can't be here on Saturday night.

Shame, because I had a nice healthy line-up.

by **Wave** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 5:52 pm

Whisky for breakfast Willie? I won't be on myself till very late, probably closer to Sunday morning (here) as long as I don't get stuck at work. Then I'd be havin' a whisky sunrise! :lol:

Cheers m8!

We're going to get this thread setup for Friday Willie as several people have had conflicts develop for Saturday.

Currently my Saturday looks like Ardbeg Tasting, HiTime Tasting, S'tan's Hepatic House of Horrors Tasting. :lol:

by **Ryguy** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 6:10 pm

I'll definitely be around Friday evening to get this started. It looks like I have a very nice lineup, so I'll get going on Friday with it.

Plus I just found out that my wife and I are 'boys free' Saturday evening, they are spending the night at my inlaws.......so........ :angel:

Needless to say, I'll be giving it a go come Friday night!
