Ardmore 100th Anniversary Heart Of Teacher'S Whisky 12 Year Old · 1986 Vintage

Colour

Radiant golden amber with coppery-bronze glints and a touch of mahogany.

Nose

Smoldering peat envelops a sweet, malty heart, where honeyed notes of heather and vanilla ride toasted oak. Sherry influence carves in dark fruit—raisin and fig—with cocoa and a touch of almond. Orange zest and spice brighten the aroma, yielding a refined, smoky Highlands nose with inviting depth.

Palate

Silky and gently peated, the palate unfolds with warm smoke wrapped in honeyed malt. Sherry-cask influence brings dark fruit—raisin and fig—with cocoa, treacle, vanilla and spice. Velvety texture, balanced acidity, and a lingering oak, smoke-kissed finish that echoes Ardmore’s heart.

Finish

Long and refined, the finish threads peat smoke with rich sherry sweetness, leaving hints of dried fruit and toasted oak. Spiced warmth lingers, mingling cocoa and honey as the smoke slowly fades to a soft ember.
