Living Souls

Ardmore 12 Years Old

ABV: 46% 70 cL

This characterful 12 years old Ardmore fully matured in ex-Islay bourbon barrels, conjures the rugged charm of the Highlands. This sinle malt is perfect for a crisp evening, comforting warmth of a log stove sets the tone for a richly smoky dram.

Bottled by Living Souls, at natural colour and no chill filtration.

Nose

Earthy smoke rises from the glass, mingling with marzipan, burnt sugar, sultanas and the festive warmth of stollen bread.

Palate

Notes of coal fire, old trains and engine oil meet ash, crackling heat and a touch of honey roast ham, all carried by a lingering burnt sugar sweetness.

Finish

Bold yet inviting, it captures Ardmore'd unmistakable smoky character.

£47.00

Tax included.

Ardmore distillery was founded by Adam Teacher, who decided that the family blending business needed its own supply of malt. The rural Aberdeenshire was the perfect spot, with an abundance of fresh water, a nearby peat source, barley fields and proximity to the train line. The Ardmore is one of the few East Coast distilleries that has never stopped using peat in its distillation process, combining gentle smoke with more fruity and floral notes associated with its region.
