Note di degustazione
Scorch is the commemorative, limited-edition Ardbeg Day 2021 bottling. The typically fantastical release is named after the flavour-breathing dragon who used to stalk Islay, scorching staves and burning barrels in his Dunnage Warehouse No.3 lair. Ardbeg Scorch is a highly collectable dram matured in heavily charred ex-Bourbon casks.

Ardbeg's Feis Ile 2021 release was made available to the general public in June. Matured in heavily charred bourbon barrels to create a “scorching” effect. Fragrant peat and malt, dried seashells, brine, sea salt, and dockside wood on the nose. Richly layered on the palate—charcoal, iodine, and surprisingly balanced peat influence, considering this whisky's name. Baked apple and a hint of bitter chocolate, cooked bananas, and dark berries on a long finish.
Informazioni sul produttore
Ardbeg is one of the most recognisable peated whiskies today. The distillery was instrumental in kickstarting the Islay revival when it reopened in the late 1990s.
