The Purifier Is Gone
Darker, meatier smoke • Part of our current sale, ending soon
Something properly rebellious from Islay.
Ardbeg Heavy Vapours was distilled without the purifier, so the heavy, dirty vapours get through. Result?
🔥 Bigger smoke 🔥 More grit 🔥 More bite. 🔥
Expect campfire ash, tar, black pepper, a hit of charred citrus, and a dark roasted sweetness underneath. Long finish. Smoky, oily - and totally unapologetic.
Ardbeg’s own Dr Bill Lumsden presents it like this:
“A full-blown dram… disrupted in the most fantastic of ways.”
Part of our ongoing sale (just about to end…). And, we only have limited numbers left.
