Ardbeg / OB / Uigeadail 1st Release bottled 2005 for UK / 54.2 / 4/106 / Peaty dram but not as complete and structured as . Came to US in 2003 but not very much came in. US and UK versions were the same for this vatting. None of the big retailers got this apparently.
Ardbeg / OB / Uigeadail 3rd USA Release bottled 2005 / 54.2 / 28/41, 5/107 / First taste of the 3rd Uigeadail – just arrived in US in late 2005. Much peatier than 2nd release. Need to check bottles in stock but suspect they are all 2nd releases. 12 vattings created to date and only 3 brought into US

Ardmore / G & M Cask / Cask 6161 / 91 / 12 / 55.2 / 30/43 / WOW! Best Ardmore I’ve ever had. Perfect balance. Long, monster finish that evolves with layers of peat and sweet malt. Give it a dash of water.
Ardmore / SMWS / 3/85-3/05 Cask 66.16 / 85 / 20 / 54.8 / 28/41 / First impression it’s hotter than 54.8% and younger than 20 yo at full strength. Much better at about 49-50%. Something unsettling in the finish but my palate is shot.

Slightly sour and raw egg like nose (not unpleasant) but no trace of this on the papate. Sweet malty palate with the grain serving as a perfect top dressing. Very pleased – bought on eBay for $22, bottle came from a house being cleaned out in northern Maine

Glen Garioch / OB / Old dumpy bottle - circa 1980 release / 8 / 46.0 / 18/68 / Weird dram, huge center palate of lavender that shifts to smoke for a moment and then disappears leaving you with a warm finish with no flavor at all. Classic Glen Garioch peat that expresses itself as lavender. A real curiosity.
Glan Garioch / OB / 70 / 27 / 49.6
Glen Garioch / DL Platinum / 67 / 36 / 55.5 / 21/71 / Tasted HTH with 68 DLP below. Creamy nose, full and well balanced. Palate
Glen Garioch / DL Platinum / Rum finish / 68 / 36 / 55.9 / 22/72 / Dryer nose than 67 (Davin described as dust.) Palate is nicer and I like this dram better overall than the 67. Both are stunning tho.

Speyside / Premier Spirits / 15 / 40.0 / 20/70 / Speculation that this is a fake from Japan. Nothing special really and in a lot of ways really unpleasant with a bit of time– drams like it’s a lot younger than 15 yo. Research when the Speyside distillery was actually opened. Some say a 15 yo is an impossibility.
Springbank / OB / Limited Edition Series / 45 / 40.1 / 1 / Terrific dram and a great way to kick off A7. Not woody at all for such an old dram and wonderful complexity. Long subtle finish that evolves nicely. Beautiful! Thanks Loco!
