Ardbeg Oogling countdown!

by **Di Blasi** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 1:11 am

Somewhat in response to "drink or sell your ardbeg oogling," along with just plain curiousity about this exciting recent bottling and selling out of another excellent Ardbeg expression, I wonder how many we can account for here on the forum.
So, if you own, have drunk, or know others that have, then countdown from the 1,392 bottles. I'll start...

1,392
-2 bottles
1,390 bottles left...

Supposedly there is one waiting for me at Ardbeg. But I can't count it until I have it in hand, and that won't be until October.

by **Di Blasi** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 1:38 am

Good start Mr. T!
Unless you've paid for it and they're just waiting for you to pick it up, you're right, maybe you should wait til October. Not to worry, this could take awhile!

And if we post how we got it, (gift, auction, etc), other than from the website or at the distillery, that would be interesting as well.
I bought mine online/phone.

Mine came from Ardbeg directly but with no box. Did anyone else get a box?

by **Deactivated Member** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 11:43 am

Three here.

Hey Arve! Did you get yours sent to you in Trondheim?? If so, please explain how you got them in, thanks!

by **SpiritofShetland** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 2:27 pm

Nope. We got two bottles put aside for us at the distillery, since we were going on holiday to Islay anyway.

by **gandi** » Mon Jul 17, 2006 3:36 pm

Les, I meant: the cardboard box that Ardbeg use for posting. Nothing fancy, nothing special. I just kept it in the box because my whisky cupboard is a bit full at present

by **suffolkwhisky** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 2:31 pm

Three here in Suffolk (one with me and two with a friend).

1365 to go...

by **les taylor** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 2:45 pm

Hi Toshie I understand now thanks mate.

P.s the bottle needs to be be taken out of the box and stroked so that it knows its loved.

Still 1365 to go.

by **elli** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 7:36 pm

one unopened here in Manchester

by **Di Blasi** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 8:13 pm

Now we're at 1364 and counting down! It's been nice hearing not only of their wherabouts, but also that they've already been enjoyed! I may have to taste one of mine too. Who's next?
1364-

Mine's safely tucked away and quietly waiting until the boys with the Baggy Greens regain the ashes from the old enemy.

1363 and counting...

It will be worth a fortune by then - be sure to watch out for evaporation form the bottle. A fine investment.

by **andre_s** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 12:46 pm

one in Hoorn, Netherlands

1362

by **les taylor** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 5:15 pm

There is one up for sale on Ebay finishing on July 23rd. The guy wants to start his auction at £75. More than double the Ardbeg price I think thats very dodgy. ( And he reckons there's 1500 ish of them ).

Still 1362

by **Di Blasi** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 10:11 pm

Yes, weird he doesn't know more about what he's selling, especially such a special bottle. Maybe the person that buys it will post here, and give us the details!

by **Di Blasi** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 10:14 pm

Actually the guy has a good clean record on Ebay, and says 1300ish only.
And starting price of 60£.

by **les taylor** » Thu Jul 20, 2006 10:09 am

He changed the price and quantity after he was emailed yesterday. His feedback is 3 so new to to ebay life. Nice he took some advice though.

Still 1362

by **islay67** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:45 pm
