Smoky Scotch is your new summer BFF. 🥃
, based around a graphic novel created for the occasion by British illustrator and artist Dilraj Mann that highlights the 2023 special release Heavy Vapours. Whisky fans were decked out in outlandish costumes for the festivities, the crowd resplendent in green wigs, spandex, and sci-fi superhero garb.
The new Heavy Vapours expression is a particularly fruity whisky despite its smokiness. The name comes from the fact that a piece of equipment called a purifier was removed from the still by Lumsden when this whisky was produced. “It was a silly thing to do, but we firmly believe the purifier is one of the key secrets to Ardbeg’s characteristics,” he said.
Sam Penton, director of bars at Rosewood Miramar Beach, has found ways to incorporate peated whisky in summer drinks as well. “The best summer cocktails are light, refreshing, and a little bit,” he said. “It may be a surprise, but smoky, peated scotch definitely has a home in this category.” He uses Talisker 10 in a version of a Highball along with rum, sherry, and pineapple; and he combines Laphroaig 10 with grapefruit, lime, and coconut in a cocktail called the Atlantic Island.
As the day wound down and the last oddballs in full ghillie suits and neon green kilts stumbled off the distillery grounds, the sun was still nowhere near setting. This time of year, it doesn’t really get dark until after 10pm, which provides ample motivation to keep the party going after a long day of sipping whisky.
