Description

An exceptional value Highland single malt from Ardmore. Aged in refill barrels and finished in ex-bourbon barrels, this 30-year-old whisky is full of raisin, pear, cinnamon and toffee flavours, accompanied by hints of peat smoke.

The Ardmore distillery sits at the highest point of the Northern railway line, 600 feet above sea level. Close to the small village of Kennethmont, the proximity to the railway line allowed founder Adam Teacher to transport materials from Glasgow to this remote corner of Aberdeenshire, helping the distillery flourish.

Almost unchanged from the moment he made his dream a reality, the water is still drawn from the naturally rising springs that sit on the 1,500 foot tall Knockandy Hill.

Tasting Notes

Aroma:Sweet and fruity, with toffee and apple sauce, and a gentle gravelly smoke. The smoke slowly builds, becoming more fragrant – burning twigs, leaves and cocoa nibs. The toffee and apples return, now crunchy and combined. Sweet Love Heart candy touches sneak in at the back.


Taste: Cinder toffee and singed twigs lead to damp earth and crisp, dry autumn leaves. Sweetness and spice run underneath, with the Autumnal notes joined by blow-torched apples on top. Finish is waxy apples and bonfires.
