Ardbeg Scorch Committee Release Single Malt Whisky

Ardbeg Scorch Committee Release Single Malt Whisky

Part of the Committee Release, Ardbeg Scorch was released to celebrate Ardbeg Day 2021 and Islay’s ‘definitely real and totally not made-up flavour breathing dragon’, a dragon said to inhabit Islay as the legend goes. This Limited Edition was matured in their most heavily charred ex-bourbon American oak casks.

    Nose:    Frightening, intense aromas of soot and smoke. Hints of aniseed and fragrant patchouli are intertwined with strong notes of hardened steel and saddle soap.

    Taste:    With one sip, an abundance of aromas opens up. Oily, meaningful with a cloud of sweet smoke and kite-charred oak. Grilled food is interwoven with notes of black liquorice and medicinal lozenges.

    Finish:    A long and heroic finale, with a light, tarry aftertaste that stretches happily and far to the end.
