Ardbeg - Heavy Vapors (Limited Edition)

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This limited edition was the Ardbeg Day release for the 2023 edition of Feis Ile (the big festival on Islay in May each year). This release takes a look at what Ardbeg tastes like without their famous purifier. Bourbon cask matured.

46% abv, No age statement

From the Distillery: Something weird has been going down at the Distillery. The legendary purifier on the still – responsible for Ardbeg’s exalted balance – is nowhere to be seen. And this whisky – Ardbeg Heavy Vapours – is the consequence. The familiar harmony between peat and floral fruitiness has been disrupted. What have risen are the untamed darker flavours and notes, gathering and filling the senses. It is an ominous dram of dramatic, aromatic pungency. Heavy Vapours will rise. Non chill filtered at 46%.
