The Story

About Ardbeg Scorch Committee Release Fiercely Charred Casks

The southern most of the Inner Hebridean Scottish Isles, the island of Islay (pronounced EYE-lah) is only 240 square miles and home to just over 3,000 inhabitants. Still, the island is one of just five distilling regions in Scotland whose identity is protected by law.

Ardbeg Distillery, which is situated on the southern coast of Islay, was founded in 1815 by the MacDougall family. By 1886, nearly one-third of the population of Islay worked at the distillery and today, it stands as a testament to Scottish heritage and tradition. Famous for producing some of the boldest and most robust Scorch whisky in the industry, today, the distillery remains a testament to Scottish innovation and heritage.

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!”

About Scotch

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.

Tasting Notes

Bright gold color. The nose is intense with aroma of soot and smoke. The palate is multi-layered with an oily mouthfeel and clouds of sweet smoke and charred oak. The finish is insanely long and smooth.
