  1. Bosi scored this whisky 88 points Specialist

    A really very good Ardmore, which fortunately stands out from its often very boisterous younger counterparts. The sherry barrel is superbly chosen and gives the whisky a nice complexity without taking away too much of the power.
    • Nose
      The nose is surprisingly fruity at first and the typical greasy, greasy Ardmore smoke comes across a bit more subtle.
      After the first impression, notes of sherry with figs wrapped in bacon and Werthers Echte come to the fore.
      In the background there is a light, but pleasant, earthy mustiness. The metallic aroma, especially found in young Ardmores, can only be guessed at in this bottling.
      After adding water, it's finally there: the classic "Ardmore workshop". There are now strong citrus aromas.
    • Taste
      The strong start with candied almonds is followed by oriental fruits, fruit cakes, more nut flavors and the mustiness that can already be recognized in the nose also resonates again.
      With water, the texture becomes even more oily and here, too, citrus notes take over and the sweetness almost completely disappears
    • Finish
      The finish is long and somewhat dry and leaves an interplay of sweet and herbal notes. The nut flavors are still present and with water a refreshing saltiness remains in the mouth.
