The newest addition was the Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beis ("Shelter of the Beast") - a 1990 bottling that is a new favorite. Ant had it poured for us as a blind test, and we got close, but didn't quite suss the distillery... Chicken declared upon tasting "I think I just met my fiancee!" Sir Ant replied "then next time you shall meet your mistress" - his basement is full of delights we have yet to meet...

Rest assured, at any one night between 4-6 are sampled, BUT no more than 3-4 ounces are actually imbibed across a 4-5 hour evening. So we are NOT lushes. Really. Hic.
