Ardmore Berry Bros & Rudd - Single Cask #9 Whisky 11 Year Old · 2012 Vintage
In stock
The unique earthy wood smoke drifting out of the glass can only announce the arrival of Ardmore, one of the Highland’s most characterful drams. Ash, hessian, kippers and digestive biscuits mingle with great balance, with a hint of tobacco and fruit cake appearing after some time in the glass.
The palate is tremendously smoky, yet still very subtle, with notes of cedar, smoked straw, pipe tobacco and lime zest. Woodland bonfire smoke lasts long on the palate.
This is the perfect hill-walking dram – enjoy it at cask strength in gale force wind and rain.
