Picked this up from the distillery on a recent visit. I've been drinking their gin for years.
Very pleasantly surprised for a first time 8 year old. Slightly peaty and quite a lot going on once you add a little water.
Looking forward to future releases.
Family connection to the Island and the original illicit whisky makers of Pabbay, so they were emotional purchases more than anything really, if it tastes good that's a bonus.

ttery from ardbeg. Ardbeg rollercoaster. Two old whiskies. Sounds good. 1981 from the year the distillery closed, then 1989 from the year it reopened. Ok cool. What’s the price you say. Must be a few hundred quid. Poss less than a thousand but maybe not.
Eighty five grand.
I've got three bottles left out of the four bottles of Ardbeg Rollercoaster Committe Release that I bought back in about 2009. They have done very well out of their marketing, but the one that you refer to takes the biscuit at that price!ttery from ardbeg. Ardbeg rollercoaster. Two old whiskies.

How would the auctioneer get a taste, do they have an open bottle somewhere?

Tried this yesterday, astounding value for money at that price.
Also swung by The Lakes on Friday to pick up their latest distillery only release and it’s off the scale if you like a Sherry bomb. Very, very drinkable.

They recorked it at Macallan, so there might have been a mini-sample. Or they used one of the more ‘common’ versions of it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-67466202

The Guardian said:
This particular bottle is one of the 12 of Macallan 1926 bottles which in 1993 had their labels designed by the Italian painter Valerio Adami. Its unique selling point is that it is the first to have undergone reconditioning by the Macallan distillery, involving the replacement of the capsule and the cork – and a 1ml liquid sample being taken to test against another 1926 bottle at the Edrington offices in Glasgow.
I see the hammer price was 1.75 million,nice commission if you can get it.
