Single Malt Whisky, Scotland/Highlands

This Ardmore 2011 – 100 Proof – Cask #62 – Signatory Vintage is a Highland single malt bottled at high strength, showcasing the full vibrancy and smoky dimension of the distillate. Founded in 1898, Ardmore is known for its distinctive style: a dry, earthy peat—more rustic and restrained than Islay—combined with malty, spicy notes and a bright citrus edge. Highly appreciated by independent bottlers, Ardmore offers a natural balance of smoke, freshness, and structure, delivering an authentic and subtly rugged Highland character.

Nose : Smoky and direct. Cold ash, dry grass, lemon peel, malted cereal, and a hint of vanilla.

Palate : Lively and powerful. Earthy peat, white pepper, citrus zest, green apple, and a light waxy undertone. Energetic, brisk texture.

Overall : Long and smoky. Ash, lively spices, dried herbs, and persistent citrus.
