Nose

An oily peatiness then comes mustard powder and freshly bleached lino floor and a hint of rubber (not necessarily a bad thing).

Palate

Initially more on the lifted, lemony, estery side undercut with smoke. Very sweet with good balance. With water the smoke returns.

Finish

Oily, phenolic.

Comment

Jim Beam, will you PLEASE do what Allied failed to and release Ardmore as a single malt? It's criminal this distillery isn't better known.
