Ardbeg Scorch Committee Release 51.7% ABV

To celebrate Ardbeg Day – an annual celebration of all things Ardbeg on the island of Islay – the limited-edition Committee Release of Ardbeg Scorch was launched. Aged in ex-bourbon American oak casks and bottled at 103.4 proof, expect aromas of soot and smoke on the nose and an oily mouthfeel with sweet smoke and charred oak. “Ardbeg Scorch is our tribute to the legendary dragon of Islay,” Ardbeg’s Director of Distilling and Whisky Creation Dr. Bill Lumsden said in a prepared statement. “By using our most heavily-charred casks, we’ve created a fire-breathing beast of a dram!”
