It was matured in \"dragon-charred\" casks—ex-bourbon American oak barrels that were subjected to a fierce, heavy charring process—designed to amplify the rugged, industrial, and campfire-like character of the Islay spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e The aroma is frighteningly intense, dominated by thick soot and bonfire smoke. Beneath the initial peat \"scorch,\" there are sophisticated layers of aniseed, fragrant patchouli, and a metallic note of quenched steel. A touch of saddle soap and toasted hazelnuts rounds out the nose, becoming increasingly herbal—with hints of sage and pine—if a drop of water is added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The texture is remarkably oily and mouth-coating. It delivers \"lair upon lair\" of flavor, starting with sweet, billowy clouds of smoke and the woody spice of heavily charred oak. This transitions into a savory medley of grilled meats and black liquorice, which weave between bold, medicinal notes of antiseptic lozenges and clove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is long, heroic, and incredibly persistent. It leaves a lingering aftertaste of soot and tar, with a subtle sweetness of vanilla fudge and a final, cooling hint of menthol ash that stays with the palate for several minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chameleon Whisky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52941321994515,"sku":null,"price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/9383\/1699\/files\/Ardbeg_Scorch_Committee_Release_Feis_Ile_2021_e18477b6-b1d3-41d4-9621-a7919a7f60f1.jpg?v=1770043449","url":"https:\/\/chameleonwhisky.com\/products\/ardbeg-scorch-committee-release-feis-ile-2021-30ml-51-7","provider":"Chameleon Whisky","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
