- Description
- Ardbeg's 2015 Committee Release continues the distillery's tradition of extreme peatiness, pushed further than the standard range. Bottled at 54.3% abv, the smoke is dense and assertive, yet balanced by undertones of orchard fruit, honey, and dark chocolate that emerge on the palate. The high alcohol and cask strength give it structure and weight, with a finish that lingers long and dry. Best suited to committed peat enthusiasts who want intensity with complexity.
