Ardbeg 10 year is one of the most popular Islay scotches that I've come across. Many people have either emailed or commented on my social media to ask me to try it, so we finally are!

Show notes

If you've heard of the "neck pour", or the first glass out of a new bottle of whiskey which is supposed to taste bad, then you've probably wondered if it is real or not. In this episode, I put that to the test, along with the age old question, Will whiskey go bad if it sits on my shelf too long? I do a blind comparison of a brand new bottle, a very old bottle, and a few month old bottle of Buffalo Trace in order to test these questions.
