Ardbeg Heavy Vapours Committee Release

Ardbeg Heavy Vapours is a consequence of the legendary purifier's absence, disrupting the familiar harmony between peat and floral fruitiness.

The familiar harmony between peat and fruit has been disrupted, replaced by untamed, darker notes for a dramatic, pungent experience.

This non chill-filtered whisky is 50.2%.

Brand: Ardbeg

Region: Islay

Size: 70cl

ABV: 50.2%

Age: No Age Statement

Bottling: Distillery Bottling

Limited Edition: Yes

Nose: Smoke wafts with a sweet scent, intensifying with pungent farmyard notes and a crunch like creosote. Water releases dark chocolate cream with a ribbon of smoked artichoke.
Palate: Dark flavours burst with bittersweetness, ashy coal dust, and a haze of cardamom, peppermint, and coffee. Clouds of dark chocolate and eucalyptus obscure the usual fruit and floral notes. Aniseed twists, cinnamon balls, and antiseptic lozenges float on the palate.
Finish: The aftertaste is long and bold, almost anesthetizing.
