The Ardmore 12yo Port Wood Finish is a distinguished single malt whisky from the Ardmore distillery, nestled in the scenic Scottish Highlands. Launched in 2015, this whisky quickly became a favorite among enthusiasts for its intricate flavor profile and balanced character. This 12-year-old whisky undergoes initial aging in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels, followed by a finishing period in port pipes. This dual maturation process imparts a rich complexity to the whisky, creating a harmonious blend of peaty, smoky, and fruity notes. In appearance, the Ardmore 12yo Port Wood Finish boasts a golden hue with reddish undertones, reflective of its port wood finish. The nose reveals a captivating aroma of peat combined with sweet summer berries, oak, and a hint of earthy torf rauch. The palate offers a delightful mix of orange citrus, sweet peat, vanilla, and honey, rounded off with a touch of sweet wine. The use of port pipes, smaller casks traditionally used for wine maturation, enhances the whisky's complexity, adding layers of fruity and slightly sweet flavors that complement its inherent peaty and smoky characteristics. Overall, the Ardmore 12yo Port Wood Finish provides a unique and pleasurable drinking experience, making it a versatile whisky that can be savored neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail. Its well-regarded flavor profile includes a perfect balance of sweetness, peatiness, and warmth, offering both depth and enjoyment with every sip.
