Whisky.com reviews the Ardbeg Scorch. Ardbeg Scorch is the bottling for Ardbeg Day 2021. Every year the distillery celebrates its existence with the Feis Ile Festival and a special limited bottling. Scorch is named after a flavor-breathing dragon. According to legend, he is up to mischief in Ardbeg Warehouse No. 3, where he torches on barrel lids and charring barrels. In keeping with this, the special bottling naturally matures in extra heavily burnt bourbon barrels.

It's difficult to justify spending $200 on these special yearly releases when the 10yr is SO good at $50.
Agreed
Tell your superior you want to work overtime, win at work, come home with a prize..
Regret is not something you want to collect, Ardbeg is

@@Denstoradiskmaskinen that was a beautiful comment
6:18 "A chimney full of... what's it called? That black stuff." -Soot
It may not be the word soot or tar Ben is searching for.
I think Creosot is the word he wanted to find.
@@PezrulezHaakon I had to look that one up myself as a native English speaker! "Creosote is a category of carbonaceous chemicals formed by the distillation of various tars and pyrolysis of plant-derived material, such as wood or fossil fuel." That is news to me!

It might not be the most commonly used word out there, but it's a good one. 🤗
@@PezrulezHaakon Maybe that explains why Horst talks about medicinal smoke. I've wondered about how a smoke could be medicinal, cannabis aside.
Soot is the correct word indeed. 😁👍🏽
Got to try this yesterday. Really liked it. I think Corryvreckan is still my favorite Ardbeg though.
Have you tried the Oogie because I love the Corry but wouldn’t put it above the dail.
Oogie is the goat
I’ve had Uigeadial, Corryvreckan, 10, An Oa, Wee Beastie, Scorch, Arrrrrdbwg, Kelpie, Blaaack, Supernova 2014, Drum, Grooves, Perpetuum, and Airigh Nam Beist. Corryvreckan is still my favorite. Don’t get me wrong Uigeadial is fantastic. I always keep it on hand, but I LOVE the Corryvreckan.
@@colingarnesify I agree with Justin. Corrvy is my favorite as well. I like it more than 90% of these Ardbeg Day releases
I think Corryvreckan is peak Ardbeg. It is fantastic!
Excellent review, Horst is on point as usual
Good review
Enjoying my Ugie while watching this.
In Finland 119 €
In Sweden Scorch is about 117€
Arrrrrrrdbeg is 170€.
My upper price point is 100€ and for that I can get my absolute favourites that are in core range. Uigeadail and Corrywreckan 😋
It is a good measuring stick. Would I rather buy 2 Corryvreckan than release X?
Priced at 114€ here. I used to try buying every years release. But last 3-4 years have not been impressive I think, and because of that way overpriced since you can almost buy a Uigeadail AND a Wee Beastie or more than 2 bottles of the 10y to the same price as the yearly expression. So now I do some research before I buy, and this year it got some good reviews. So I bought it and I don't regret it. One of the first smells was fresh charcole and smoke, good and hefty. Worth the money, but if they had priced it at around 80€ I would have bought one more bottle, now it will only be one. So they actually lose money when they price it so high.
Dude on the right is "The Client" from The Mandolorian.
"How uncharacteristic, of one with your reputation."
Starts around &150 US.
No NAS whisky is worth 200 euros. Sorry. But still, people buy it. Sold out fast.
The Glenmorangie Signet is around that price and absolutely worth it IMO.
@@nickb638 Signet is about 140-150 €. Still doesn't worth the money.
For this price you have a lot of choices. You can buy 90% of 18 & 21 YO whiskys. Even 2-3 of 25 YO. On NAS, you don't have all the informations. And that's why, in my opinion, age statement is a better choice. But I respect also your choices. Cheers...
@@TextieruL fair enough. It’s nearly 180 euro near me, unfortunately. NAS doesn’t bother me much, I think the Tamdhu Batch Strength is great as well, though about half as expensive.
You are MOSTLY correct. Many small distillers blend batches of 15-25 and add 15% 5-10. Plenty of age and maturity. Esp the case with Highland and Islay, considering they try to retain some peat, so some young juice is needed or they are just short on old casks. It's the at of blending and circumstance. And no, blue is not a good example, we are talking about the small guys without big marketing campaigns. The ones that can only survive on quality. Having said that - springbank lines are where it's at!
Soot!
Ben is not impressed lol
Way..........Way........Overpriced. What the he** is going on in the whisky industry?? These companies are trying to jump 40-50% on cost while their buyers are actually losing income from this devastating worldwide pandemic that has devastated worldwide economies and personal incomes! I for one will never buy this or pay these prices for these mediocre whiskies!
Enough people are willing to pay this price. It’s economics.
@@SteelheadTed yeah, lol, it's like the market for exotic cars lol. Regardless of the price (and how quickly the car will actually depreciate); there is always a buyer somewhere, somehow lol.
@@onYTsince2008 Except rare whiskies gain value if left unopened.
