So much peat and smoke. Also more subtle grassy notes and earthy sweetness. Super light-bodied. A great Islay scotch. — 7 years ago

Ardbeg, pushing the definition of Scotch. A bit of a jumble, and very strong. Maybe I'm just not ready. — 8 years ago

With the "Perpetuam" special release around the corner, I felt like a dram of one of the previous special releases. The older spirits and Sherry oak do not tame this Ardbeg, but do balance its feral smoke and iodine. Great on the rocks on a warm California evening. — 9 years ago

We'll see if my cold can stand up to this Ardbog toddy! I love a dram of the old peaty in my medicine, and I cherish my 10 too much to mix it. The bogs big peat is perfect with clove, lemon, cinnamon, honey and hot water. As Liam Clancy said "you don't need the clove, you don't need the hot water either!" — 7 years ago

Not for the faint of heart. Peaty and heavily smoky, oak, citron, honey, and leather. Puts me in mind of Ardbeg, but at a gentler price point. — 9 years ago

Raggie found an Alligator in the garage! One of the best Committee releases in my opinion. — 10 years ago

Round three of peat treatment- now daily thanks to the good advice of Henrik . Can a cold survive a bear and a supernova? We'll see. This is a solid, overproofed comity release with excellent high toned Ardbeg peat. In the toddy it is the clear winner- lighter, more focused, and full of healthy, germ fighting peat. — 7 years ago

Dark Cove, second release. Non-Committee. Dosed down, still rich and peaty! — 8 years ago

They smoothed out the raw edges. Sea spray, seaweed on the nose. Barreled salt herrings. Spices and cloves in mouth, yet smooth for all that. Lingering smoke. — 8 years ago
