The Ardbeg Scorch Edition is a limited release, no-age-statement single malt whisky from the renowned Islay distillery, Ardbeg. Bottled to celebrate Ardbeg Day 2021, this expression pays tribute to the legend of the dragon that once lived on Islay. The whisky is matured in heavily charred ex-Bourbon American oak casks, which gives it a unique, sweet smoky flavor.
Ardbeg, founded in 1815, is one of Islay's iconic distilleries, known for its heavily peated whiskies. The distillery was purchased by Diageo forerunners DCL and Hiram Walker in 1973, and later by Glenmorangie plc (now part of LVMH) in 1997, which revitalized the distillery's operations. The distillery uses malted barley sourced from the maltings in Port Ellen.
The Ardbeg Scorch Edition is the 10th Ardbeg Day release, and it is matured in ex-bourbon casks that have been charred heavily. This year, Ardbeg Day will be held virtually on the 5th of June, 2021, the last day of Feis Ile, Islay's whiskey and music festival. The Scorch Edition is a unique dram, with an outstanding smoky flavor, making it a must-try for whisky connoisseurs.
