The legendary purifier on the still responsible for Ardbegs 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 flavours and notes, gathering and filling the senses. It is an ominous dram of dramatic, aromatic pungency. Heavy Vapours will rise.
