Ardmore Single Malts Of Scotland Single Cask #708026 Whisky 12 Year Old · 2009 Vintage

Colour

Radiant amber-gold with a warm coppery glow and honeyed highlights.

Nose

Peat smoke from Ardmore, intensified by a Laphroaig-barrel finish, rides the nose with medicinal iodine and coastal brine. Sweet vanilla and honeyed barley mingle with dried fruit, toasted oak, and a zesty citrus spark, hinting at sherry richness.

Palate

Tangy peat and soft smoke mingle with creamy malt and honeyed vanilla. Ripe pear and orange zest join dried fruit, while oak from the cask adds toast and spice. A hint of iodine and sea-salt introduces coastal character, finishing with peppery warmth and a long, silky fade of dark chocolate and smoke.

Finish

A long, peaty finish that lingers with smoky iodine and coastal salt, balanced by vanilla and toasted oak, fading into warm spice and a subtle resinous sweetness.
