Bottling Note, Ardbeg Heavy Vapours.

Have you ever wondered what Ardbeg whisky would be like without its purifier?

Now you can find out with the Ardbeg Heavy Vapours Committee Release! This full-throttle whisky was distilled without the purifier and bottled without chill-filtration at 46% ABV. On the nose, you’ll get smouldering soil and rock pool salinity, a minty/eucalyptus quality, cardamom, sweetness from tinned peaches and treacle, and a strange funkiness akin to Gruyère. On the palate, you’ll find thick ashy smoke, dark chocolate, apples, charred honeyed meat, and a little cumin. The finish is old coffee, more chocolate, smouldering wood, and minty herbs.

How 2023 Ardbeg Heavy Vapours Committee Release works

The Ardbeg Heavy Vapours whisky is distilled without using Ardbeg’s purifier, which captures heavier compounds and condenses them, causing them to fall back into the still. The vapours fall back into the still, are heated again, and so rise again. This whisky is then bottled without chill-filtration at 46% ABV, allowing for a more intense flavor.
