Ardbeg Heavy Vapours - Committee Release

Ardbeg Heavy Vapours is a special single malt whisky released in 2023 to celebrate Ardbeg Day, an annual event held during the Islay Festival of Music and Malt (Fèis Ìle). Crafted by Dr. Bill Lumsden, this expression is distinctive for being distilled without the use of a purifier, which typically provides a balance of fruit and smoke in Ardbeg whiskies.
