An Unfiltered Exploration of Peat and Smoke
Ardbeg Heavy Vapours is a bold and experimental single malt Scotch whisky from the iconic Islay distillery, Ardbeg. Released as a limited edition for Ardbeg Day 2023, this expression showcases a unique twist in the distillation process—Ardbeg created this whisky without the traditional purifier on the still. By omitting this component, which typically balances peat smoke with floral notes, Ardbeg allowed the heaviest vapours to rise, resulting in an intensified and robust smoky profile.
This whisky offers a powerful nose with pungent, farmyard aromas and hints of creosote and tarry rope. On the palate, expect bold flavours of aniseed twists, cinnamon balls, and antiseptic lozenges, delivering a complex and warming mouthfeel. The finish is long and assertive, leaving a lasting impression with its almost anaesthetising sensation. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, Ardbeg Heavy Vapours delivers a raw and unadulterated experience, highlighting the distillery’s renowned peaty character.
