ARDBEG - Heavy Vapours - Limited Release 2023 - 46%
Founded in 1798 and officially active since 1815 , the Ardbeg distillery is one of the oldest and most legendary on Islay. Famous for some of the world's peatiest whiskies, it embodies the soul of this Scottish island. Ardbeg is also known for its audacity and innovations, such as sending whisky into space in 2011 to study ageing in zero gravity. Owned by the LVMH group, it perpetuates ancestral know-how combined with boundless creativity.
Ardbeg Heavy Vapours – Limited Release 2023 is a unique edition that challenges tradition. For the first time, the distillery has chosen to distill without its purifier, the element that usually softens the peaty intensity. Without this step, the whisky gains density and reveals darker, wilder, and more powerful flavors. Aged in ex-Bourbon casks, this single malt embodies an extreme and radical version of the Ardbeg style, already considered a legend by lovers of rare products.
Upon tasting, the Ardbeg Heavy Vapours 2023 surprises with its intensity. The nose reveals aromas of dense smoke, bitter cocoa, tar, and deep spices. On the palate, peat dominates, accompanied by licorice, leather, and earthy notes. The finish is long, vibrant, and wild. More than a whisky, it's an extraordinary sensory experience. We offer it at the best price on the market : a rare opportunity to acquire a collector's vintage at the best price.
