A splendid single malt from Ardmore, distilled in 2012 and matured in ex-bourbon barrels. After nine years of rest, the whisky was independently bottled up by Càrn Mòr in 2022, releasing a total of 1,184 bottles for its Strictly Limited collection.
Buttery pastries, wafts of floral tea, hearty bonfire smoke, and woody vanilla.
Rich smoke and vanilla tangle alongside prickles of peppery oak and cooked apple.
Butterscotch and soft fudge balance peppery heat, while charred heather and drying peat smoke linger.
