Tasting Notes
Appearance
Burnished gold with a soft amber glow, and slow, oily legs that coat the glass and promise weight.
Aroma
Clean medicinal smoke rises first — iodine, sea spray and dried seaweed from its ex-Laphroaig cask — over a softer core of honeyed malt, warm cereal and vanilla, with orchard fruit and a faint eucalyptus lift.
Taste
Full-bodied and oily: waves of peat smoke and charred oak carry maritime salt and a distinct medicinal, almost TCP edge, with barley-sugar sweetness and smoked almond beneath. The finish is long and warming, drying to ashy bonfire smoke, sea salt and a touch of dark chocolate before honey and vanilla return.

About
Ardmore
Distillery
Built in 1898 by the Teacher family at Kennethmont in rural Aberdeenshire, Ardmore was raised to supply the heart of the Teacher’s Highland Cream blend. It remains a Highland rarity: a firmly peated malt smoked with mainland Aberdeenshire peat for a soft, campfire smoke rather than Islay’s coastal sting, with water drawn from springs on Knockandy Hill. Long the quiet backbone of Teacher’s and bottled in its own right only in recent years, Ardmore is seldom seen as a single cask — rarer still matured in an ex-Laphroaig barrel — this one bottled just as it came of age, and not to be poured again.
