Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

It leans more on the savoury than the sweet side of things, with light barbecue char and earthy notes up-front. Sweet cinnamon, fresh honey and vanilla toffee waft up at points.

Palate

More charred, smoky notes, joined by drying oak, pear drops and subtle grassy touches. Give it a minute for citrus zest and expressive heather to appear.

Finish

A lasting peat smoke finish, with a little bit of honey'd barley for good measure.

Not as characterful and smooth as H. Cream.

Bought a bottle yesterday as I had run out of Teachers H. Cream, my favourite blend which is unavailable locally, and I had read that Ardmore is at the core of Teachers. Also, did not want to stretch to Laphroaig, my overall favourite so far. Yesterday I was disappointed by the harshness of Ardmore and thought I would give it away. Maybe that was because I had a good Laph in a pub before going home to open the Ardmore. Today, however, it seems drinkable neat, but after my first dram I poured it on ice up to the top of the ice, and it is quite satisfying. Will not buy it again if I can help it though. I will try not to run out of Highland Cream in future.

Excellent value for a daily dram

Just opened a bottle of this last night. On the nose I detected new leather, toffee, aromatic spice. On the palate oak, cream, very balanced and smooth. Not a long finish, but creamy. After adding a few drops of water, it opens up a bit, woodier, old, grassy field (mown hay?)
