Ardbeg Heavy Vapours Committee Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Smoke rises with a cloying sweetness. Intense, pungent and aromatic, a distinctive farmyard scent drifts, along with a crunchy aroma, like creosote or tarry rope. A splash of water disturbs the vapors and dark chocolate cream billows, laced with a ribbon of smoked artichoke. Ardbeg’s untamed darker flavors and notes have risen. A burst of bittersweetness surges, disturbing ashy coal dust and casting a haze of cardamom, peppermint and coffee grits. clouds of dark chocolate and menthol eucalyptus roll in, obscuring the fruit and floral notes usually found at the heart of Ardberg. Wisps of aniseed twists, cinnamon balls and antiseptic lozenges float on the palate. The aftertaste lingers long and bold, with an almost anesthetizing sensation.
