Ardbeg 10 v Shieldaig 14
I've been on a break from the Islay whiskies for a while, just tonight revisiting them, going back and forth between
Ardbeg 10
Shieldaig 14
What say you? They're distinctively different, that's all I know. I'm no connoisseur.
It would be cool to hear your impressions.

Ardbeg 10 would be a tad young for my pallet, but still a nice drop. I can’t say that I have come across Shieldaig whisky. Is it new to the scene?

It's from Ian Macleod - but otherwise I am not familiar with it.
I guess Tamdhu and Glengoyne are among their better know brands.

I looked up Shieldaig, looks to be a Total Wine thing, a lower-priced Islay single malt.
Looks like the reviews are meh.

Never mind the reviews, did YOU enjoy the taste? That’s really what matters.

Sorry for the divergence, but when I saw the subject heading the first thing I thought was shinty scores.
Then I read the post and and of course...

That is funny!!
I've only seen shinty at our Pleasanton Highland Games, every year a team flies out from the Highlands to participate, very cool, they're all Gaelic speakers.
Yes the taste is fine, however I've got so used to the Speysides it's a bit of a shock going back to the Islays.
