Description
Ardbeg Heavy Vapours delivers an intense, smoky experience characteristic of Islay's peatiest expressions.
On the nose, expect thick plumes of medicinal smoke intertwined with maritime brine and charred oak. The palate is bold and full-bodied, with layers of burnt rubber, iodine, and dark chocolate emerging beneath the dominant peat smoke. A hint of citrus brightness cuts through the heaviness, while subtle vanilla notes from the cask provide gentle sweetness. The finish is long and warming, with lingering smoke and a peppery spice that fades slowly. At 46% ABV, this non-chill-filtered dram showcases the raw, uncompromising character Ardbeg is renowned for. Perfect for peat enthusiasts seeking an unrelenting, complex whisky that demands respect.
