Color
Deep copper
Nose
A fresh nose which is lightly peated and smokey.Very madicinal but very flowery as well,a nice combination.Then just out of nowhere beefy crisps hit me.
Taste
The peat is there but it doesn't dominate, it's nicely textured, sweet as well as dry,lightly salted with butterscotch.
Finish
A nice medium smokey aftertaste.
Comments
I bought this for myself out of the vouchers i got for a whole years worth of petrol from Morrisons. Very nice, i enjoyed it.

Nose
J'ai acheté cette bouteille 18 euros. Je veux une qualité irréprochable... !
Oh c'est un nez finement tourbé et juste ce qu'il faut de citron (j'ai un si mauvais souvenir de tous ces whiskies tourbés qui balancent des tonnes écoeurantes de citrons genre Birnie Moss)
Besoin d'une aération importante. La première fois que j'ai ouvert cette bouteille, les 46° m'ont sauté à la gorge tel le lapin dans les Monty Pythons.
Taste
Je ne m'attendais pas à cette douceur. Beaucoup de vanille,
des orangettes (les miennes, pas celles des supermarchés).
Finish
Autant je n'ai pas trouvé de fumée en bouche, ici, elle semble ressusciter. Ce n'est pas une manifestation de l'esprit saint. Il faudrait une finale de Port Ellen pour cela. Mais c'est tout de même agréable, avec encore du miel, de la vanille et de l'orange.
Comments
Excellent rapport qualité-prix.
Inconvénient : sa grande simplicité et le besoin d'une aération longue (qui bien sûr a tendance à faire partir la tourbe).

Color
Deep gold
Nose
Light malty but freah. Vanilla and chocolate. Pineapple. Not very complex so not many smell sensations.
Taste
Delicously spicy and peppery. After that some liquorice. Vanilla and pineapple and a bit oily.
Finish
Spicy and peppery but also very sweet. In the end a pleasant bitterness. Medium.
Comments
Too bad for the nose: that's the worst part of this whisky.

nose: dry but smooth, notes of peat in the background
palate: vanilla from the oak wood and creamy peat, with sweet fruits developing. Malty. Mouthfilling.
finish: quite long and pleasant
A well-balanced dram in which the peat is a natural part, not a gimmick

Color
Deep gold
Nose
Pure and simple aromas of smoke, peat, alcohol and bourbon
Taste
A light taste of Turg, smoke, vanilla and dried fruit

Matured in ex-bourbon wood and reracked into smaller Quarter Casks for final maturation.
Intense aromas, complex and a lot of peat smoke for a Highlander.

Color
Amber
Nose
Tingly and smoky. Oak and vanilla. Nice soft aromas here. Not a very assertive nose.
Taste
Subtle smoke with big sweetness. Spicy with oak and malt. Drying and some light fruit, if you look for it.
Finish
Very nice. Tingly at first, with the oak and smoke coating the mouth. Incredible sweetness of vanilla and over ripe fruits.
Comments
For me the finish is the winner. Great sweetness and a nice kick overall, but give this one time. It's a bit shy at first...

This was the first official single malt from the excellent
Ardmore distillery. A young peated Speysider, released in 2007.
Ardmore "Traditional Cask" has been finished in quarter casks to speed up
maturation. Gold Medal in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010.

Color
Jonquiripe corn
Nose
Assez "ramassé". Zest de citron avec un profil maritime qui se dévoile progressivement : iode, algues, oeuf de poisson. Enfin, pâte à gâteaux et réglisse.
Taste
Un peu de fumée, globalement marine et pimentée. Puis pâte d'amandes et notes fermières.
Finish
Fumée légère, maltée, douce. Sur le nougat et le miel.
Comments
Une espèce de whisky "terre-mer" agréable et bien fichu.
Ce whisky fut dégusté en aveugle.

Remember - whisky scores and impressions are highly subjective and situational by nature - so don't go and buy whisky according to someone else's taste...

milde Torfigkeit, Alkohol gut, aber nicht komplett eingebunden, Birne, saurer Apfel, leicht erdig.

recht harmonisch und rund, jedoch auch leicht stechend, suesslicher als in der Nase.
Finish
eher kurz und auch nicht "stimmig"
Comments
ein ordentlicher Malt, der gut wegkommen würde, wenn der Alkohol besser eingebunden wäre...

This is a very good young whisky.....for the smoky whisky fans.
