Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful wine with potential
Cloudy lemon yellow colour. Pretty open and powerful nose with peaty, smoky, heather notes, iodised notes, fresh hints of eucalyptus. Well-balanced, straightforward, powerful, full-bodied with a beautiful finesse. Good character with peaty, candied fruit, white chocolate and hints of iodine and salt. Long and fresh finish with a hint of juniper.
Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.
Do you know ?
Ardmore has kept a very strong link with independent bottlers who are always looking to differentiate themselves by presenting an atypical peat that will go off the beaten track.
Domain and appellation
-
Ardmore
The Ardmore distillery is well known for its distinctive style, a peated Highland whisky.
Indeed, Ardmore has remained faithful to this style and was for a very long time the only distillery in the Highlands to have this particularity. This light peat is highly sought after and was often used in blends to create a light smoky note to add complexity. Although an official range does exist.
