Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson

Nose
Carbolic soap. Smoke, beeswax, church-like.
Palate
Flavours tightly bound together, and reluctant to unfurl. At first, a retrained, malty sweetness, then suddenly a surge of incense-like smokiness, this happens more easily after a dash of water.
Finish
Cereal-grain oiliness. Fairly dry, but soothing.
Comment
I have always thought of Ardmore as having a rather bluff character, but on this occasion I found it both welcoming and comforting.

Doug McIvor

Nose
Heady, fruity and faintly medicinal.
Palate
Big, malty, sherryish with background sooty smoke.
Finish
Spicy, smoky and dry.
Comment
Big and old fashioned feel.
