Ardmore Traditional Cask Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

A travel retail exclusive the ardmore tradition is a taste of history itself journeying back to a time when most highland distilleries dried their barley with the sweet smoke of local highland peat. Double matured in oak barrels then smaller quarter casks the ardmore tradition is a full and rich liquid with unique highland peat smoke avors. Tasting notes: color: burnished gold nose: at bottle strength (46%) the influence of both maturations compliment each other producing a full bodied smooth aroma. The maturity comes from the american barrels and the spicy creamy nose from the old style smaller casks. Palate: the full rich flavors burst and fill the mouth with a creamy peat tang and a touch of vanilla’s soft gentleness. If a touch of water is added then the flavors increase with the addition of a sweet ripe fruit start followed by a tang of peat. Finish: full succulent and quite long.
