Wine Web Watch - Ardbeg 1965 Advert

If you are selling a £2000 bottle of whisky, is this advert how you want to do it?



I have actually tried this whisky. This is what I thought.

Ardbeg 1965 42.1%
Not so smoky, lean fruit, and more burnt toast than in a greasy spoon cafe. Throw a lot of Branston pickle onto it and a bit of ‘just peeled elastoplast’! Lots of bitter, dry fruit and burnt orange. It is an overoaked whisky but it certainly isn’t want two grand a bottle. 6.5/10

You are kidding me right??? I think that is one of the funniest spoof's on a classic advert that I've seen in a long time!!! Or are you too much of a young thing to remember the original Chanel ad? xx
I am too much of a young thing which is great as I am thirty in a week and it is nice to be too young for something! Having said that though, does a whisky company really need an ad to sell a two grand bottle of whisky? I know it is about promoting the brand, but, in my humble view, the folk who are going to buy these whiskies at this price aren't going to give a tuppence ha'penny about a Chanel spoof!
