Peat, check. Smoke, see Peat, but check. Iodine and brine, yeah. Seaweedy saltiness with a dark chocolate undertone.  Sure!  Ardbeg Scorch is from some heavily charred ex-bourbon barrels and delivers on an intense smoke that doesn't overpower, but lets you know its there.  I enjoy Ardbeg a LOT.  This is no exception, but I wonder what the committee release offers at the higher proof.  Either way, this is a delicious dram that noses for days!
