Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Clean with a light muskiness, almond, a hint of cow barn (nice!) and subtle woodsmoke. With water it shows good weight along with hot oatmeal, brick dust and a whiff of fresh asparagus.

Palate: Thick and unctuous - think caramelised apple with good acidity building up.

Finish: Light and tight.

Comment: Ardmore shows its gentle side. When will people discover this distillery?

Score: 7.8

Martine Nouet

Taster

Nose: Fragrant. Floral and malty. Freesia. Honeysuckle. Barley sugar. Opens on citrus notes. Lemon posset. Refined and complex. Hint of marshmallow.

Palate: Crisp like raw silk. Not as smooth as the nose would have let expected. A fizzy spicy feel on the tongue. But the same delicacy. Light fudge at midpalate.

Finish: Smooth, gently spicy with a fresh note of icy mint.

Comment: An enticing whispering whisky.

Score: 8
