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 flavors and notes, gathering and filling the senses.
It is an ominous dram of dramatic, aromatic pungency. Heavy Vapours will rise.
