Ardmore Carn Mor Strictly Limited Pedro Ximenez Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 2009 Vintage

Colour

Dark amber with mahogany depths and a burnished, ruby-hued glow.

Nose

Deep, luxuriant nose of Pedro Ximenez richness: ripe figs, dates and prunes draped in treacle and molasses, with orange zest and bittersweet chocolate. Toasted almond, vanilla and new oak lend warmth, while a whisper of peat smoke and sea breeze underlines the sweetness, yielding a velvety, decadent sherried aroma.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied on the palate, with decadent sherried sweetness coating the tongue. Dried fig, raisin and treacle mingle with dark chocolate and orange zest, while a whisper of peat smoke adds warmth. Creamy vanilla and caramel linger, delivering a long, luxurious echo of fruit and spice.

Finish

An enduring, velvet finish coats the palate with sumptuous Pedro Ximenez sweetness. Rich dried fruit—raisins, fig, date—drifts over a whisper of peat as dark chocolate and toasted oak weave warmth. The sherry influence lingers long, leaving caramel, orange zest and a hint of smoke in a refined, lingering glow.
