Title:
Ardbeg Scorch
Description:
A limited-edition Ardbeg single malt, Scorch is matured in intensely charred ex-bourbon barrels, creating aromas of hazelnuts, aniseed, oily smoke, garden herbs, pine and fennel that fill the nose. The palate offers notes of boiled sweets, tar, liquorice, clove, pepper, heathery peat smoke and sandalwood.
REGION: Islay
ABV: 46%
COLOUR: Amber pale gold
NOSE:
Bonfire smoke next to the ocean, peat with toasted oak and vanilla, green pine branches and spices. Tar coated poles with hints of cigar smoke. Salted caramel and toffee apple sweetness. Big and bold, typical Ardbeg nose.
PALATE:
Ash, charred wood with earthy peat and salt. Big, creamy and bold, right in your face. There is a fruity sweetness and vanilla behind the smoke mixed with some espresso and bitter chocolate on the second sip.
Sorch has the typical Ardbeg medicinal notes with a meaty flavour and a light lemon pepper sprinkling. It was so amazing; we finished our first glass without water. Complex and not an every day drinking dram.
FINISH:
A long and lingering finish. With notes of ash and smoke and toasted oak and lemon pepper.
RATING: DIVINE
Just delicious! This is the first Ardbeg Day release in many years that I don’t mind owning, opening and drinking. I will be sad when it is finished. The balance between the smoke and the hints of sweetness and spice is perfect. The smoky flavour is inviting you in for a taste; like BBQ smoke on the wind. You can smell it and know that there is fun to be had, but it does not suffocate or overwhelm you.
It left John and me with huge smiles, and even my sweet palate was not complaining. For a change, the Ardbeg Day release lives up to the hype. My bottle will not last long.
