Martine Nouet
80- Nose
- Floral, tangy. Honeysuckle. Green oak. Lemon balm. A briny hint. Develops into creamier aromas. Vanilla waffles.
- Palate
- Unexpectedly smooth and sweet. Grassy, malty with a touch of bitter almond. Pear drops. Dries out on a dusty hint.
- Finish
- Sweet, long, almondy. Touch of mint.
- Comment
- A hidden complexity on the palate. A malt to give you a tender kick on “one of those days, you know…”
Dave Broom
77- Nose
- An oily peatiness then comes mustard powder and freshly bleached lino floor and a hint of rubber (not necessarily a bad thing).
- Palate
- Initially more on the lifted, lemony, estery side undercut with smoke. Very sweet with good balance. With water the smoke returns.
- Finish
- Oily, phenolic.
- Comment
- Jim Beam, will you PLEASE do what Allied failed to and release Ardmore as a single malt? It's criminal this distillery isn't better known.
