Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
similar profile to the Caora but only more honeyed, medicinal, concentrated and with this feeling of 'syrupy' peat. Herbal cough medicines, hessian and smoked olive oil, also with this slightly umami and earthy streak - really a style unto itself is Ardmore. With water: more on hessian, dried heather flowers, a touch of carbolic acidity and these typical Ardmore sooty vibes
restaurant Palate
pretty peaty actually! Lots of herbal-tinged smoke, wood smoke, bonfire embers, coal tar soap, lanolin and a rather dry waxiness. Honeyed as well with impressions of heather honey and aged mead. Still this syrupy textural impression about the mouthfeel as well. With water: lovely mouth-coating weight and texture, wonderful honeyed sweetness, olive oil, gorse flower and a little eucalyptus
timer Finish
long, lightly mentholated, medicinal, some herbal teas and ointments
