Ardbeg distillery presents Ardbeg Scorch Special Committee Release 51.7%, released in 2021. There were an unknown number of bottles in this release.
This whisky has a unique nose of frighteningly intense aromas of soot and smoke with hints of aniseed and fragrant patchouli interlace with bold notes of quenched steel and saddle soap, with a drop of water, herbal top notes of briarwood, sage and pine wisp their way to the fore, complimented by layer upon layer of flavour, an oily mouthfeel grips the senses, billowy clouds of sweet smoke and dragon charred oak permeate the palate, while grilled fare and black liquorice weave between notes of medicinal lozenge on the palate, and topped off by a long and heroic finale, with a subtle tarry aftertaste finish.

Ardbeg
The distillery can be found in a small cove on the south coast of Islay. It was in 1815 that the distillery was established and founded by John McDougal. Despite going on to sell in 1838, Ardbeg continued to be ran by John’s children. In 1853 Ardbeg boasted the first female distiller’s in Scotland after the death of Alexander, their elder brother. The family also went on to buy back the distillery in 1922 remaining at the helm until 1977. Following financial difficulties the distillery had a hiatus from 1981 to 1989, when distillation resumed it was on a much smaller scale. The distillery was sold again in 1997 to Glenmorangie Co. and restored to its former grandeur and as we know it today. Ardbeg has gone on to win many awards and enjoys releasing bottles to celebrate contemporary events. In 2021 a new stillhouse is completed doubling capacity. They are open year round in their visitor centre, bar and tours (Ardbeg 2023).
