This release embraced a psychedelic 1960s \"Summer of Love\" theme—complete with \"Peat \u0026amp; Love\" branding—but the liquid itself was far more rugged than the flower-power marketing suggested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNose: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe \"Committee\" proof (51.6%) provides a punchier aromatic profile than the standard 46% release. It opens with an unusual mix of smoked cinnamon, paprika, and savory honey-glazed ham. Classic Ardbeg notes of pine resin and salty sea spray are present, but they are wrapped in a layer of antique leather and a curious hint of floral matcha tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePalate: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe mouthfeel is exceptionally oily and \"bombastic.\" It starts with a heavy hit of treacle toffee and vanilla popcorn, which quickly gives way to the influence of the wine casks: salted peaches, black grapes, and a drying, earthy soot. The smoke here is \"dirty\" and industrial, reminiscent of smoldering driftwood and charred BBQ meats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe finish is long, dry, and distinctly peppery.
