(Feb. 6th, 2010) - Ardbeg Rollercoaster Launches for the Committee (on Feb. 15th). "The Ardbeg bottling of the decade!" |
|
The Ardbeg Rollercoaster will be officially released on February 15th, and initially rumors place the US price at approximately $89.99 USD. It goes on sale at the Distillery on the same day for £50 GBP, and there will be a limit of 2 per Committee member. Since the allocation in the US is spread out through various retailers, it might be limited to 1 per Committee member. However, if up to 3,000 bottles hit the US, then they will probably offer more than 1 each. This whisky was bottled at 57.3%, and it contains casks from 1997-2006, with the breakdown of cask types and percentages listed below. 1997 Cask: 2nd fill - 9.5% 1998 Cask: Refill Hogshead - 12.2% 1999 Cask: 1st Fill Barrel - 14.2% 2000 Cask: 1st Fill Barrel - 10.9% 2001 Cask: Refill Barrel - 6.2% 2002 Cask: Refill Barrel - 8.9% 2003 Cask: 1st Fill Barrel - 11.7% 2004 Cask: 1st Fill Barrel - 10.6% 2005 Cask: 2nd Fill Sherry Butt - 10.4% 2006 Cask: Refill Hogshead - 5.4% Click on the picture above to visit Ardbeg's page on the Rollercoaster.
