A 20yo single cask 1990 from little-seen peated Speysider Ardmore. This has been aged in what Signatory refer to as a 'Wine Treated Barrel', although they're not saying what kind of wine was used, nor what exactly 'treated' means. Answers on a postcard.
Ardmore are best known for their use of peat, despite being in the relatively peat free region of Speyside, and this whisky is no exception. It's an independent cask strength bottling by Gordon & Macphail and comes in at a fairly hefty 57.9% abv.
A bottling of smoky Speyside Ardmore by interesting independent Adelphi. This one has a nice bit of smoke to it and is bottled at a big 50.7% after 18 years of maturation.
Hefty peat is the dominant characteristic of this delicious, if atypical, Speyside from one of Scotland's most under-rated distilleries, Ardmore. This 1994 12yo is a robust, potent dram.
A peated Speyside that turns out to be a sweetheart underneath, this 12yo Ardmore 1994 is an easy-drinking malt, and more mellow than hardcore peatheads might expect. See our tasting notes for more info.
Another release from our much-lauded stash of Ardmore 1994, this 13yo is medium-bodied with intense spices, pepper and soot alongside compensating honeyed fruity hints. Top-quality stuff from this little-known peated Speysider.
A young Ardmore 2003 that has picked up an amazing colour from 8 years in a first fill American oak barrel. Described as having smoked haddock on the nose and a sweet, smoky and peppery palate showing plenty of complexity for a young whisky.
