Ardmore Gordon & MacPhail Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old · 1991 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery sheen and mahogany undertones, a warm, sunset glow hinting at sherry-cask maturity.

Nose

Intense peat smoke rises with a sea-salted, mineral heartbeat, wrapped in bright malt and vanilla. Sherried oak lends cocoa and toffee, while dark fruit—raisin and fig—unfold beneath. A warm, resinous spice threads through, hinting at the potency within and inviting another swirl.

Palate

Powerful, unrelenting peat greets the palate, with bold sherry-tinged sweetness. Dark fruit—figs and raisins—rides over smoke-laden barley, mingling with leather and espresso. Vanilla-edged oak frames the finish, while a touch of saline complexity and a long, warming peppery aftertaste lingers.

Finish

Long, warming finish with peat smoke, dark fruit, and spice, fading into toasted oak and a subtle sweetness that lingers softly.
