Ardbeg Heavy Vapours - Ardbeg Day 2023 Single Malt Scotch Whisky
In stock
This limited edition Islay single malt was launched to celebrate Ardbeg Day 2023. This experimental whisky was distilled without using Ardbeg’s copper purifier, ensuring that bolder, heavier compounds passed through the distillation process. This distorts the usual balance between fruit, sweetness and smoke, whilst accentuating the smoky and oily character of Ardbeg.

Tasting Notes
Nose
Smoke rises with a cloying sweetness, intensely pungent and aromatic. A distinctive farmyard note drifts alongside a crunchy creosote-tar edge. A splash of water loosens the vapours to reveal dark chocolate cream, braided with a ribbon of smoked artichoke.
Palate
? A burst of bitter-sweetness surges, disturbing ashy coal dust and casting a haze of cardamom, peppermint and coffee grits. Clouds of dark chocolate and mentholic eucalyptus roll in, obscuring the fruit and floral notes usually found at the heart of Ardbeg. Wisps of aniseed twists, cinnamon balls and antiseptic lozenges float on the palate.
Finish
? The aftertaste lingers long and bold, with an almost anaesthetising sensation.
