Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
the sherry is nicely discreet, and works quite well with that light Ardmore smokiness to create notes of tobacco leaf, ginger liqueur and slightly dusty old medicine cabinets. I also get some smoked teas and old furniture wax. Nothing at all cloying or disjointed so far. With water: the smoke is clearer now, a very nice wispy, dry and gentle peat note with a little mint leaf and camphor
restaurant Palate
we aren't left in doubt this is from the era when Ardmore was Ardmore, which is to say moderately peated somewhere between Springbank and Talisker, and distilled using direct coal firing - as opposed to steam and then filled into ex-Laphroaig barrels! Anyway, this is lovely. Lots of salted treacle, damp leaves, earthy black teas as well as lapsing souchong, crystallised citrus rinds and things like putty, mineral oil and strop leather. With water: nicely sooty, smoky, spicy and still with these nicely Ardmorish herbal peat and dry medicinal tones
timer Finish
medium length, a little tarry, a slightly bigger peat note and lovely dry smokiness in the after taste
