Ardmore Douglas Laing Premier Barrel Father's Day Malt Whisky 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber-gold with burnished copper highlights and a warm bronze edge.

Nose

Peat smoke blankets a honeyed barley base, with vanilla, toffee and baked apple. Sherry-dark richness brings fig, raisin and a hint of cocoa, while citrus zest adds lift. Subtle oak spice and a whisper of sea air complete the bouquet, yielding a refined, multi-layered aroma that speaks to a bold, single-barrel Highland character.

Palate

Silky mouthfeel with a bold, subtle peat smoke woven through sherry-kissed sweetness. Caramel, fig and dark chocolate mingle with roasted nuts and warm spice, while vanilla-malt adds creaminess. The finish is long and evolving, smoke fading to cocoa and salted caramel, carried by gentle oak.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish where peated Ardmore smoke softens into rich sherry fruit. Raisin, fig and dark chocolate weave with toffee and vanilla, while cinnamon and clove spice linger on the palate. Oak and a whisper of coastal salt drift away into a velvet, lingering sweetness that stays with you.
