Ardbeg Heavy Vapours Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardbeg Heavy Vapours Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Item # 48935 750 mL

The absence of the purifier in the distillation process results in a heavier, smokier, and more intense whisky, with pungent earthy aromas, dark chocolate, and sharp peppermint notes. Very limited.
