This 7 yeard old Ardmore has been bottled at 59.6% after maturing in an Ex-Laphroaig Barrel... curious!
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: doughy and ashy, honey and malt with a firm wood smoke; grows with each pass, richer, thicker and creamier.
Palate: big, bold and malty; peanut brittle, beef jerky, more sweet ash and sandalwood smoke; some big citrus, creamy vanilla, soft fruits and firm spice; a late touch of oily peat.
Finish: long, malty and ashy; honeyed, sweet, spicy and citric.
Comment: this is young and not inexpensive, but it is also a big, beautiful, layered and unapologetic malt.
