Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products. The Ardbeg Kelpie has an amazing scent and taste, there is no arguing about that. However, experts often claim that this drink isn’t all that special or fancy, and there’ plenty of hype revolving around it that isn’t all that justified. It is definitely the type of product that you have to try once, but it’s also one with notes that are easily replaced by other brands that don’t sell limited edition products.

Blended whiskey is another type you’ll come across, and it comes from multiple types of single malts that are made in different distilleries. Blended whiskey types are better from drinkers that prefer to experience a variety of flavors in a single drink. Whenever you read a label that says, “ single malt whiskey”, that means that’s is made from water and inside a single distillery. However, that could still mean that the whiskey is made from multiple batches and in different barrels. What sets this type of whiskey apart is the fact that it has flavors which can clearly be distinguished from one another.Each and every Member must be of legal drinking age in its country of residence to be allowed to use the Service. If no such law exists in a Member’s country of residence, the Member has to be over 21 years old to use the Service. We have the right to ask you to provide proof of your age and/or to provide further identification to prevent underage usage and/or for any other legal or legitimate purpose. By using the Service, and by creating an account you represent, warrant and confirm that you are of legal age. We collectively got the whisky market that we collectively made. Things have become more nonsensical (and expensive) as the result of a large number of people thinking that merely removing an age statement is now the first step in making a “premium” product and that leaving it on is now the first step in making an “ultra-premium” product. One of the main scents that you will identify when you nose your whiskey is the woodiness, the smell of oak.

As you first inhale the sweet aromas, you notice how they start to fade away and what’s left with a medicinal, almost iodine-like scent. As you shake the glass, you can notice some fruity scents making an entrance. There are really subtle notes of toffee, baked apples, and fresh buttermilk, leaving you with a craving for tasting the delicious liquor as soon as possible. Without prejudice to the section Liability below, the Service may be temporarily unavailable during maintenance, updates, etc. We shall make reasonable efforts to inform you of any unavailability due to maintenance or updates. Although I guess I see the difference in degree, – Dr. Lumsden’s true crapsicle masterpiece probably IS still in the development stage, although it WILL be encouraged by the reception to this one – I just don’t see the real difference between Kelpie and Lore in terms of overall trending, except for the size and silliness of the distillery fan clubs. How far are we away from the Ardbeg version of Lore? One more overhyped, overpriced and nonsense-based release, maybe two? Place your bets, because the answer IS forthcoming. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. The Ardbeg Kelpie whiskey is distinct in so many ways. Identifying the pros of this drink might a rather subjective matter, so we’re going to focus on what the general drinking audience found to be most special and intriguing about this spirited drink.

Gifts by Budget

This whiskey has been long praised for being one of the best Ardbegs product in decades. It has an oily smoke, but nothing that’s too intense to cause any tastebud discomfort. It is a whiskey for the true connoisseur, with subtle hints of different flavors, but also intense with some other tones that leave a pleasant aftertaste. Given the sheer number of operational whisky distilleries, releasing a Manzanilla Sherry -aged whisky isn’t something particularly revolutionary these days. That said, I’d point out that amongst the main styles of Sherry, Manzanilla is one of the lightest and driest, with low sugar levels and often a tangy, yeasty, savoury character. These influences and flavours are significantly different from the more common types of rich or sweet Sherry used for whisky maturation, the likes of Oloroso or Pedro Ximénez. Lowland (as you may have guessed) is just below the Highland region. This is where you want your whiskey to be from if you’re not a heavy drinker. Drinks made in this region are lighter and have sweeter vanilla notes.

Tasting the Ardbeg Kelpie is a whole new level of whiskey experience, especially if you have never tasted anything with similar tones and scents. It will first feel like you’re having a sip of liquor made from salted caramel. You will first notice a gentle peat taste, one that fades away in the multitude of other different aromas. We may, but are not under any obligation, to release new functionalities and tools or other features for the Service every now and then. Any new functionalities, tools and features shall be part of and governed by the Terms from the moment they are launched and/or available. Further, we reserve the right to modify, change, discontinue the Service, add or remove features, update the Service, change its appearance, temporarily and permanently, at any time, in whole or any part thereof. As you keep on reading, you will understand how to choose a whiskey that’s suitable to your own taste, as well as an in-depth analysis of what makes Ardbeg Kelpie whiskey a product that received so much recognition throughout the years. How to Choose a Good Whiskey Speyside is the third region to keep in mind. It might be a small region, but almost half of the distilleries in Scotland are found here. You can expect to find sweet varieties made here, often ending with a dry finish. When on your quest for finding a whiskey that you really like, make sure you opt for all-natural products. Whiskeys that have a darker color are those who spend more time in timber barrels.If you notice a fruity scent, that means that the whiskey has hints of fruits, such as apricots or cherry. The Service has been prepared by us solely for information purposes to Members and the Service is based on information we consider reliable and we obtain the contents of the Service from a number of different third party sources (including Contributions), but we do not endorse, support, represent, warrant or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of the Services and any information therein. And this whisky is like a demon of the sea: seductive, it grabs you and won’t let go, looks you in the eye and then drags you into a whirlwind. It’s not the usual 10-year-old Ardbeg. It’s a fantastic synthesis of the mastery of this legendary distillery, the peat of Islay and the soft charm of the malt.

Another thing that makes a difference in how the whiskey tastes are the type of wood that’s used to make the barrels. We normally deliver products between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, unless by prior arrangement. We do not offer delivery on Saturdays, Sundays, or bank holidays, and we may have a reduced delivery schedule at various times of the year and during peak times, e.g., Christmas, we may have extended delivery dates.There aren’t many things to complain about when it comes to the Ardbeg Kelpie whiskey unless you absolutely hate the taste. Seeing as how this was a limited edition product, one of the major complaints is the fact that it’s so rare to find, but scarcity is one of the things that make a bottle of this scotch even more valuable.

This is approachable, balanced, fairly flavourful with a couple of interesting minor chords that titillate the palate (I nosed this again and again and I couldn’t shake the image of roasted peanuts and peanut butter from my head).
