The Ardbeg Alligator is finally here

So, I bet most whisky blogs will be filled with this one, so we can not overlook this event. Starting from today Ardbeg Committee members can purchase the much awaited Ardbeg Alligator on the Ardbeg site, that is if it doesn’t crash / is too slow. I have not tried logging and buying one yet, but i did hear it’s pretty slow right now – The Ardbeg PR / Marketing machine is in full throttle.

from the Ardbeg site:

Lurking within is an Ardbeg of hidden depths. Extremely fierce charring of the cask gives Ardbeg Alligator a unique spicy bite that’ll catch you unawares. Charge your glass with a splash of water and roll it around and around in your jaws!
LONG NOSE
Warning signs of cumin and barbecue sauce.
BIG TASTE
Hot and spicy flavours grip you, ginger and chocolate thrash.
FINISH YOU OFF!
Slow and long mocha espresso while cigar smoke ebbs.

So, Snap Snap!

Now, need to find a wee sample of this Gator.

Slainte!
