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 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.

Aromas of smoke with a cloying sweetness. A burst of bittersweetness surges on the palate, with notes of cardamom, peppermint and coffee. Dark chocolate and menthol eucalyptus develop, obscuring the fruit and floral notes usually found at the heart of Ardbeg. The aftertaste lingers long and bold, with an almost anaesthetising sensation.
