Colour
Rich amber-gold with honeyed warmth and coppery highlights.
Nose
Smoky, coastal aromas blaze from the glass: peaty embers curl through a sea-salted breeze, mingling with sweet sultanas and burnt sugar. Underneath, gentle oak and vanilla rise from the bourbon-barrel backbone, hinting at toasted barley and a soft maritime warmth. A bold, inviting nose that previews Ardmore’s rugged Highlands character with refined, smoky sweetness.
Palate
Earthy peat smoke anchors a warming sweetness as the palate unfolds. Smouldering embers mingle with sultanas, burnt sugar and gentle oak, delivering a bold yet approachable Highland profile with coastal hints and a lingering, smoky finish.
Finish
An enduring finish of smoky embers that slowly fade into sultana sweetness and burnt sugar, leaving a gentle oak veneer and a whisper of coastal brine. The peat lingers gracefully, balanced by the sweetness, with warm spice and a final echo of resinous oak that invites another sip.
