ARDBEG HEAVY VAPOURS ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY

Intense, pungent & aromatic, with a distinctive farmyard aroma, along with a crunchy aroma, like creosote or tarry rope. A splash of water opens the bouquet, with some dark chocolate cream, and a hint of smoked artichoke. On the palate, an initial burst of bittersweet flavours – coal dust, cardamon, peppermint, eucalyptus, and more dark chocolate with some coffee grits that are followed by old-fashioned boiled sweets, like aniseed twists, cinnamon balls, and antiseptic lozenges. Long finish.
