Ardmore James Macarthur's Whisky Miniature 12 Year Old

Colour

Deep amber with copper-gold glow and mahogany undertones, a rich, sunlit bronze that hints at sherry-cask maturation.

Nose

Peat smoke billows with coastal brine, opening to vanilla, caramel and toffee. Dark dried fruit from sherry cask influence mingles with cocoa, toasted oak and a subtle spice, yielding a bold, resinous aroma that hints at depth and refinement.

Palate

Peat smoke anchors a rich, sherry-tinged palate. Dried fruits—fig, raisin, date—mingle with toffee, honey and a hint of orange zest. Spices bloom softly—cinnamon, clove—over toasted oak, leading to a long, warming finish with cocoa nibs, leather and a last whisper of char.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish where peat smoke lingers and sherried sweetness coats the palate. Dried fruit—raisins and figs—mingle with cocoa, vanilla and toasted oak. Spicy warmth builds, then tapers to a peppery, oak-dusted fade that leaves a refined, lingering glow.
