Ardbeg Heavy Vapours Committee Release is a peated single malt Scotch whisky from Islay, bottled at 50.2% ABV. It is known for a bold smoky style, with bourbon cask maturation supporting the distillery’s character with vanilla and oak notes.
For a novice drinker, expect a powerful whisky where peat smoke, maritime character, and cask sweetness work together. The higher strength can make it feel intense, so a small splash of water may help open it up.
