Proof: 106 (53%ABV)

Origin: Scotland

Distillery: Ardmore

This 2009 vintage Ardmore single malt was re-racked into a tired old refill butt for just over two years – all headspace and mellow oxidation – to give it a softly peated, waxy character. Bottled at 53%, this is a showcase of distillate character over cask muscle. Ardmore in its element. It is presented at its natural colour, non-chill filtered, with an outturn of just 226 bottles.

Ardmore 15 Year Old 2009 Decadent Drams (Decadent Drinks) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Farmyard peat, green olive brine, peppery citrus, sheep wool, and a whisper of wax.

Palate: Creamy, oily texture. Peppery smoke, lemon zest, olive oil, and medicinal wafts.

Finish: Long and savoury – think embers, olives, coal scuttle, and lingering bonfire smoke.

Distillery Information

Built in 1898, Adam Teacher established the distillery to ensure a good supply of whisky for Teachers blended whisky. The build followed a surge of demand for Teachers products and was part of an extensive expansion of the company, including an international marketing campaign. Lying just below Knockandy Hill, alongside the railway line between Inverness and Aberdeen, Ardmore was one of the last remaining distilleries to rely on coal powered fires to heat its stills and did not convert to steam ’til 2003. In 2005, Beam Global became the new owners after buying twenty wine and spirit companies from Allied Domecq, for five billion dollars. Shortly after the acquisition, Ardmore’s capacity was increased from 3 to 5.1 million litres and in 2007 its own bottling was, at last, released, namely Ardmore Traditional. ‘Traditional’, matured in bourbon casks, followed by a secondary maturation in quarter casks, was originally launched for the duty free market but was released also on the American market in March of 2008.
