That might also rein in some of the oak. I'm going to save some of this bottle to try that out when I open a CS. Good idea, thanks!Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-41006581866020939432014-10-28T00:23:45.874-04:002014-10-28T00:23:45.874-04:00I called the Costco Ardmore a 'don't buy&#...I called the Costco Ardmore a 'don't buy' but then I'm not an avowed Ardmore fan. I saw it today here in SD, and John M signaled it last week further up the coast.<br /><br />My memory on the Ardmore Traditional is in line with your current evaluation rather than with your past enthusiasm. My brief notes from mid-2012 read "It has the sweetness of Laphroaig and some of its peatiness, but without the medicinal, maritime dimension. At the right time this can be a great whisky! Maybe combined with Laphroaig CS? Grade: B".<br />Florinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445344658258056628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-76754316515432779382014-10-27T19:25:43.592-04:002014-10-27T19:25:43.592-04:00Huh.

If that one is still around in January, I might consider it. Murray's low abv, filtering, and coloring doesn't inspire me much though.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-54315891685236880822014-10-27T18:10:01.519-04:002014-10-27T18:10:01.519-04:00So then you *would* be interested in this Costco 1...So then you *would* be interested in this Costco 13yo Ardmore for $60...

Under $30 is the best deal for TC in the country. Binny's had it for $29.99 until recently. I've considered the same thing that you have, but since TC is $40-$50 out here I may just get one for the road.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-13989247911369987992014-10-27T14:25:04.701-04:002014-10-27T14:25:04.701-04:00I have to un-see this review before I do my own ne...I have to un-see this review before I do my own next month. Here in MN the Ardmore TC can still be found <$30 in some places. When the news of the Legacy broke I considered stocking up, but then I reminded myself that while I do like the TC I don't like it enough that I need to have bottles of it lying around for my twilight years.My Annoying Opinionshttp://www.myannoyingopinions.comnoreply@blogger.com
