Ardbeg - 2002 Committee Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl 55.3% ABV

Exclusive 2002 release from a renowned Islay distillery, drawn from 1970s–90s casks and bottled at full cask strength. No age statement, a rare collectible with a distillery manager-signed label. Ardbeg 2002 Committee Reserve Single Malt Scotch 55.3% ABV Nose: Intense maritime peat smoke dominates the nose, fused with iodine, saline breeze and a whisper of ash. Underneath lie vanilla sweetness and toffee, mingling with resinous oak. Lemon zest and subtle citrus oils brighten the profile, while a classic A Palate: Uncompromising peat-forward palate, a viscous, oil-rich mouthfeel delivering waves of medicinal smoke, briny iodine and coastal ash. Sherry influence surfaces as dark fruit, cocoa and toasted almond, tempered by vanilla and spice. The cask-strengt Finish: Long, peat-driven finish marked by maritime salt, iodine and ash, unfolding into bitter cocoa and espresso, with a peppery warmth that lingers and slowly fades to a dry, smoky echo.
