Ardmore Single Highland Malt Whisky Miniature 1981 Vintage

Colour

Warm golden amber with coppery depth and honeyed highlights.

Nose

Sweet barley and honey lift from the glass, followed by a delicate peat smoke that blankets heather and damp earth. Subtle sherry notes emerge—rich dried fruit, fig and raisin—alongside vanilla, toasted oak, and a whisper of cocoa spice.

Palate

Peat smoke entwines with rich sherry on the palate, inviting dried plum, fig and treacle, with bright orange zest and a touch of spice. Silky, medium-bodied with toasted oak and cocoa, it finishes long and warm, leaving a gently smoky, enduring kiss.

Finish

Long, velvety finish where gentle peat smoke dissolves into rich sherry sweetness, with dried plum, fig and cocoa lingering. Hints of orange zest and vanilla spice thread through toasted oak, ending in a warm, caramel-tinged glow.
