About

Ardmore is a renowned Speyside distillery celebrated for its characterful, smoky single malts. This 25-year-old from 2009, bottled by WhiskyBroker, showcases the full maturity and complexity that only extended ageing can deliver. The Oloroso cask has left an unmistakable mark on this whisky, creating an intriguing interplay between smoke and refined sherry notes. In the glass, this whisky reveals itself as a powerful, quintessentially Ardmore expression with a fascinating tension between peaty smoke and elegant sherry influence. The nose is dominated by intense, typical Ardmore peat with maritime and iodine-like qualities reminiscent of smoked kippers. The palate unfolds with rich peaty smoke, warming spice, and scorched herbs, complemented by hints of almond and a refreshing minty character. The finish is long and formidable, initially sweet before intense medicinal smoke notes and subtle bitterness take command, leaving a waxy, meaty persistence.
