Description
Distilled at Ardmore in 1999, this single malt spent a generous 27 years maturing in a first-fill barrel. The cask was opened by the Thompson Bros., who independently released a total of 161 bottles. Expect a vibrant, mineralic profile, laden with zesty fruit and rounded peat smoke.
Tasting Note by The Producer
Nose
Immediately quite mineral with pebbles and clay. Feels very round on the nose, and a touch of menthol. It’s definitely peated and maritime but it’s not Islay; more like crossing the Kessock Bridge whilst Bairds are firing up the peat kilns. There’s fruit if you look for it, too: burnt lemon peel and some melon skin.
Palate
Very mineral, almost entering the periodic table (iridium?), wet clay slip, whey, white grapes and melon, some lemon drops, too.
Finish
You really notice the length of time in cask on the finish, giving us a pleasant grapefruit rind-like bitterness and some grated nutmeg.
