Regular price $239

ABOUT

Unshackle your expectations with Ardbeg Heavy Vapours – Committee Release—the peat head’s ultimate adrenaline shot. For the first time ever, Ardbeg removed the still’s purifier to allow the heaviest, smokiest vapors into the aperitif. The result? A raw, unfiltered peat bomb that’s unapologetically intense and indulgent, bottled exclusively for Committee members.

Unmasked and unbalanced—in the most wildly wonderful way. It’s Islay’s smoke at maximum volume.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: A bracing blend of earthy tar, pungent farmyard tang, dark chocolate, and smoked artichoke with a clawing, creosote-like crunch .

Palate: Intensely peaty, with bittersweet burnt wood, warming spices, eucalyptus dust, espresso grit, dark chocolate waves, peppermint, and anise, noting the unconventional twist .

Finish: Long, bold, and cheek-numbing—inky, smoky embers fade into minty herbs with woody ash.

FOOD PAIRING

Pair wisely—with dark chocolate mousse, smoked ribs, or bold charcuterie to complement the peat’s edge. For contrast, a citrus or ginger sorbet or even creamy vanilla panna cotta will soothe the burn with bright balance.
