Popular Post ThePolskiOgorki Posted January 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2020 Found on a recent trip to the US. New Riff has been on my radar for a while. I appreciate how they are producing their product, as far as I know are independent and use transparency as their marketing strategy. A brand I am happy to support. The Barrel Bourbon was not on my radar. I was surprised to find it actually. They are sourcing their product, have very little transparency in what they sell, but they certainly have proven themselves with a track record of awards. It was also quite spendy at $89 so here Is hoping it’s in my wheel house for taste. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prodigy Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 I just had my friend snag me an ardbeg drum. I've never had any ardbeg, but my research tells me it's something I will probably like a lot. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogiepuffer Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 So with the sad news of Single malt tariffs I noticed that our local Total wine has higher prices for Lag 16 and Ardbeg Ugidal by 10+ dollars per bottle. I been hitting small liquor stores which still have old prices due to the slow turnover. Just got a Lag16 for $83 and Total wine has it for $92....

Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Once it opens up some--- Nose lots of iodine more intense than other ardbegs. Citrus is present too. A bit of mint. Pallet: honey grapefruit, charcoal, mint. Finish: leather and chocolate I really enjoyed it. More intense peat than other Ardbeg. Worth the price of admission imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk WTF? New one to me. How much?
