Ardbeg Grooves 70cl 2018 Limited Edition

Product Information

Cambridge, Wisconsin's Dancing Goat Distillery has launched its first product, a rye whiskey aged in both "vintage American oak" and new charred French oak barrels, then finished in a solera made of recharred Limousin oak port barrels. This first batch is being bottled at 46% ABV, but future releases may have a different proof as the distillery's goal is to create a certain flavor profile without necessarily being constrained by a target proof.

To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired. From the experimental folk at Ardbeg comes this intensely mellow dram, produced using our grooviest casks ever. Smoked spices combine with distant bonfires fading into a mellow haze of apples and smoked pear. Better known for its gins, Spirit Works also makes wheat whiskey and rye. While just 250 bottles of the bonded rye are being launched right now, the distillery is able to release more as needed, and may expand distribution to New York later in the year. "We've got plenty of barrels of it!" says co-founder and brand director Ashby Marshall.

Tasting Video

Given the name, I was expecting a lysergic experience, but instead I found myself with a healthy hippy smoking seaweed cigarettes. Almost an introductory whisky, which doesn’t want to disturb, even too much peace and quiet, but then again, that’s the name, isn’t it? But from a special and limited edition (and expensive, although it’s not a weighty element in giving an opinion) I expect much more.

Incidentally, the name Grooves comes from the shape in the inside of the wine barrels after they’ve been re-charred. Ardbeg Grooves - Regular Release

Doc's Wine, Spirits & More in Memphis is creating its own brand of whiskey. This first release is a single-barrel bourbon made at an undisclosed distillery in Middle Tennessee (any guesses?), made of 84% corn, 8% malted barley, and 8% rye. No partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship is created as a result of your use of the Service. Whiskybase B.V. (“Whiskybase”, “we” or “us”, company details below) offers a whisky enthusiasts online platform that provides its members access to the most comprehensive, transparent and trusted resource of whisky bottles and allows and stimulates its members to contribute information about whisky bottles to the platform (“Service”).

Consider this similar product...

Nose: Nice spoiled fruit acidity and char. Char flaking off burnt oak. The caramel is a little richer on this end compared to the regular Grooves, the baking spices are a little more prominent. A satisfying pour of whisky, in a lineup that’s tough to compete within. The wine-finished elements are shy, perhaps too shy? It’s hard to judge without having a taste of the original recipe, but I’d like a little more constructive notes considering the risky barrel finishing play. Ignoring the expectations of wine-influences, this is a pretty good modern scotch with plenty of spice and lots of sweetness. Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us. Every time I get my hands on a bottling of Ardbeg that I miss, it’s a bit of a party: I know, it’s a fixation, but everyone has their own fetish-distillery, right? Mine is this.
