(Feb. 6th, 2010) - Ardbeg Rollercoaster Launches for the Committee (on Feb. 15th).

"The Ardbeg bottling of the decade!"


The Ardbeg Rollercoaster was officially released on February 15th, and it was initially sold at the US price of $89.99. Since the allocation in the US was spread out through various retailers, some stores limited it to 1 per Committee member. As with all releases of Committee bottles, the US system does not provide a mechanism for enforcement of the sale to only Committee members. Prices varied with each retailer, but for the most part, the price was in the $90-100 range.
