Thought I’d make the picture go with the grooviness 

Ardbeg Grooves C.R

ABV: 51.6
Released: 2018
NAS
Casks: Red wine and bourbon?

This is one that went both ways in terms of positive reviews (like most)

Sold out (like most)

Flipped on auction (like most)

So what’s the verdict? It’s groovy for sure. This one is quite the swinger, the typical Ardbeg with brine, tar, tabacco and smoke but and that’s a big but it’s god some medicine and spices with it, sort of vegetative notes and sharp notes of sweet raisins soaked in cinnamon and or ginger? Acidic, but that’s the only wine note that I get here. Can be a brilliant drink on a more adventurous evening but may very average drink when you want a ‘typical’ Ardbeg!
