Ardbeg '17 Year Committee Release' Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Ardbeg '17 Year Committee Release' Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a tribute to one of the distillery's most beloved expressions, first released in 1997 after its reopening. Originating from the rugged Isle of Islay, Scotland, this whisky's return marks a celebration of tradition and precision, meticulously recreated by Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden. Bottled at 40% ABV, just as it was over two decades ago, this release is a tribute to those who stood by the distillery's revival.ÿ
The whisky showcases Ardbeg?s signature peaty profile, but with an unusually delicate touch. Aromas of pine resin, sea spray, and lavender soap create a fresh and restrained nose, while flinty minerality emerges with a splash of water. Subtle sweet peat smoke and malted barley intertwine with aniseed, fennel, and toasting bread, creating a complex yet balanced profile that hints at both tradition and innovation.
On the palate, it offers a creamy texture and flavors of aniseed toffee, caf‚ latte, and gentle antiseptic notes. The peat smoke remains present but understated, leading to a lingering finish of chewy oak, cocoa powder, and tar. Best enjoyed neat or with a touch of water to fully experience the intricate layers, this release is a nostalgic yet refined revival of an iconic Islay malt.
