Do we think the Ardnahoe releases on Total Wine concierge are worth it?

I'm tempted but going to hold off this time. They're getting good press and Jim McEwan is production manager (former master distiller at Bruichladdich) so i can't imagine it's not good whisky.
It sounds interesting. This guy does a good review of it. He also compares it to Ardbeg Wee Beastie. Fairly similar whisky and also 5 years old. He prefers the Ardnahoe a wee bit better. I'm a sucker for Islays, so I think I'll give it a go.
Nothing fancy but with glenmorangie replacing the 10 year with a 12 year as their 'original', and seeing the 10 year less and less on shelves, I went ahead and grabbed 2 more for the bunker. On to the next!
I'm interested in their 16 year Nectar, it's number 8 on the 2024 Whiskey Advocate list.
The former Glenmorangie Nectar d'Or 12 year old has been reimagined into The Nectar, which features 4 additional years of aging and a far more complex finishing process, done with a combination of sauternes, monbazillac, muscatel, and tokaji casks. The result is spectacularthe nose is awash in aromas of ripe apricot, juicy peach, lemon-coated apple, and Nilla wafer, while the palate reveals more apricot, then orange scone, honey, a crack of peppery spice, and buttered toast. Warm baking spice also joins the party, coating the mouth in cinnamon French toast and sliced almond, making for an elegant and balanced dram. Julia Higgins

Same but still only seeing the old one on shelves at the moment.
Pulled the trigger on a bottle of Ardbeg Vintage_y2k 23 year old today, along with and Ardbeg Ardcore and a Macallan A Night On Earth In Jerez de la Frontera, definitely one of my more expensive whisky days, but completes a couple more pieces of the collection.
Where's the lineup pic?!
I shamefully cannot post pics here, never looked into how to do it and don't utilize a pic hosting site... i really should rectify that. And I did rectify it!
