Description
Ardbeg Scorch Committee Release Single Malt 51.70%
Bottled to celebrate Ardbeg Day 2021 and Islay’s definitely-real-and-totally-not-made-up flavour breathing dragon, this mythical malt is only available to our noble Ardbeg Committee.
“Our whisky wizards have been hard at work, chanting incantations and conjuring spirits, concocting one of the Distillery’s most fantastical whiskies yet. Matured in ex-Bourbon American oak casks, fiercely charred and packed with smoke, discover lair upon lair of flavour in Ardbeg Scorch Committee Release.”
ABV 51.7%
Ardbeg Scorch Committee Release is a special, limited edition Ardbeg Single Malt that was going to be a treat for purchase by the Committee Members who visited the distillery. But since the world is crazy, we can all buy it now. It is not only peated in the traditional Islay manner, but it is aged in the most heavily-charred barrels ever used by Ardbeg. The combination may intimidate lessor fans of the dram, but we know you can handle it.
The palate opens with a slick, almost oily mouth-feel leads to layers of rich, smoked lemons and oranges, exotic woods, menthol, and a nice sweetness hiding nearby.
The finish has been called heroically long with little but thick puffs of smoky brine crashing on your palate.
