Is Cask 2399 in the warehouse? John,

It would be nice, and I better start saving my money if my “pipe” dream comes true.

Is Cask 2399 in the warehouse?

The General Release Supernova just landed at a few retailers in the beginning of July, and it should be at most stores by August. If new packaging counts, then the Uigeadail could be the one!!! Maybe the "New" TEN will finally reach the States, but I won't make that my guess. If the Corry is the worst kept-secret, and the obvious choice, then I will go out on an even longer limb. My guess is that the US will receive it's first Single Cask release from Ardbeg. Not likely, but I'll let wishful thinking take over and hope for a 70's cask and be more than happy with a 90's cask. We can always hope...right? My sources said the Corry would be later than September in the US, but I’d welcome it early.

A bottlings of Supernova just for the US. We Canadians weren't considered worthy enough eventhough I've been hounding them for it for a year! I have a couple of Corryvreckans, and would be thrilled if they did another bottling of it. Hopefully some of that would make it north of the border into Canada! Andrew Ferguson Calgary Hey John,

Hope the new standard release vatting is as good as the Committee bottling!

I have basically confirmed it via the TTB website. They got label approval on 06/19/2009. Can't wait to try it, I have heard such wonderful things - can't wait for your review of it as well.

Especially at a relatively low price point. The limited release was MUCH too expensive for what you got. I wrote a post summing this up: Ardbeg Blasda at Black Bottle Prices Would Be the Awesome Sauce: http://whiskyparty.net/?p=429 Blasda could be a really great intro-to-Islay scotch. If you priced it at $50 or lower, I think you could dominate the lower end of the market for Islays.

Indeed one of the worst kept secrets. I am stocking up on the Beast. I have acouple of 2008 bottlings which I intend to trickle feed into my liver. I still have a Corry from last year. One of the best drams made by Ardbeg and if pressed, better, by a small margin, then the Renaissance. Corryvreckan for me as well. Indeed one of the worst kept secrets.
