The Ardbeg Alligator Committee Release is recognized for its maturation in new American white oak barrels subjected to 'Alligator char.' This term refers to an intense charring level, which causes the cask's interior to crack and peel, resembling alligator skin. This process infuses the spirit with distinct smoky and spicy notes.
This whisky, part of the 'Committee Reserve for Discussion' series, was released in June 2011. Designed to instigate dialogue among Ardbeg's loyal enthusiasts, the series is characterized by limited releases. The Ardbeg Alligator, specifically, saw only 10,000 bottles produced, each containing 700ml of spirit at a strength of 51.2% Vol.
The blend for the Alligator Committee Release integrates spirit matured in ex-bourbon casks for a decade and spirit aged in heavily-charred virgin American oak casks. This combination results in a unique flavor profile. Each bottle is an original distillery bottling, adding credibility for potential whisky investors and collectors.
