Nose

Warm. Cow's breath and sweet hay with a hint of scented smoke, lemon. Mature. Becomes fresher and greener in time, hedge clippings.

Palate

Clean, leafy with an acidic energy. Good orchard fruits in, then hazelnut and light smoke. Good balance.

Finish

Tight and slightly smoked.

Comment

Has maturity and presence. Ardmore: a complete package.
