Ardmore Gordon & MacPhail Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 1977 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery glow and mahogany edges.

Nose

Soft peat smoke lingers over honeyed barley, with delicate heather and a whisper of coastal brine. Vanilla, oak and almond mingle with dried fruit—raisins and apricot—while a citrus zest lifts the aroma, lending a refined, slightly vinous edge.

Palate

Silky yet lively, this Ardmore offers a gentle peat on entry, balanced by a plush sherried sweetness. Notes of dried fig, raisin and dark plum unfold with vanilla, honey and a touch of toffee. Subtle cocoa and warm spice underpin a soft, oaken finish that lingers with gentle smoke.

Finish

Long, smoke-kissed finish with peat-driven warmth. Vanilla and honeyed barley linger as coastal brine and ash soften into dried fruit, cocoa and toasted oak. A final whisper of spice completes the echo, leaving a refined, honeyed sweetness that persists.
