Ardmore Whiskyland Chapter 25 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 40 Year Old · 1985 Vintage
Out of stock
Whiskyland loves a celebration - big birthdays, small birthdays, any excuse really. But 40 years is special. This 1985 Ardmore, discovered by happy accident, felt like fate calling for a grand Whiskyland birthday dram. A marriage of two refill hogsheads, bottled at natural cask strength, it’s soft, peaty, waxy, and gracefully honeyed. Expect fragrant smoke, beeswax, heather honey, and hints of Brora-like farmyard charm.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Golden honey with amber-copper highlights, a warm, waxy glow in the glass.
Nose
Soft, peaty smoke over a waxy, honeyed core. Beeswax and heather honey bloom, framed by subtle peat, with Brora‑like farmyard notes lending rustic depth and quiet refinement.
Palate
Silky, waxy mouthfeel with a gentle, resinous peat that coats the palate. Beeswax and heather honey drift through soft smoke, while Brora-like farmyard charm and a kiss of saline linger in the background. At natural cask strength it remains elegant, finishing long with honeyed warmth, smoke, and waxy peat.
Finish
The finish unfolds slowly, with fragrant peat and wisps of smoke giving way to warm beeswax and heather honey. A waxy, honeyed ribbon lingers, touched by Brora-like farmyard charm and a soft maritime edge, fading to a refined, resinous glow.
