Ardmore · Single Malt- Good review score, 80 out of 100
- Single Malt16 years47.5% ABV
Glorious waxiness and tropical fruits elevate this whisky, with elegant evolved peat and impressive depth from decades of aging.
A great combination of elegant smoke and minerals, almost tropical fruits and above-average complexity.
The unusual Monbazillac cask unites deep peat with pleasant sweetness, creating a natural, balanced whisky with a long smoky finish.
Smoked raspberries, cured meats, ginger, marmalade and charcoal make for a wobbly but good-fun Ardmore, though the spirit and ex-Oloroso finish don't entirely…
Refreshing and nicely balanced, this Auchroisk layers salt, Meyer lemon, crushed mint, cloves and orange with a subtle sweetness.
An uncomplicated but characteristic single malt, with excellent viscosity and delicious notes of apples, orange pith, pink grapefruit and cinnamon.
Picked this up on a whim and really happy I did.
A very fine whisky with lovely dryness, combining toasted hazelnuts and chocolate with salty, mustardy notes and an earthy, Madeira-like finish.
An adventurous, highly Port-influenced whisky with peppery raspberry liqueur, polish and curious shampoo-like notes; amusing but quite deviant.
A strikingly natural dram, with kirsch, fresh almond, herbal lemon, barley syrup and a surprisingly salty character that lingers beautifully.
The extra wood finish adds complexity, bringing caramelized nuts, forest honey, bitter chocolate, coffee, nutmeg and clove, with a long, cinnamon-laced finish.
A lovely, round bourbon highlighting vanilla and sweetness, balanced by aniseed, bitter almond, clove, toasted wood and dark roasted coffee.
A weird and fascinating whisky, bursting with spruce, kelp, capers, pickled flavors, charcoal ashes and lovely briny acidity.
A very impressive little beast: richly fruity and mentholated, with smoked banana and mango, a long peppery finish, and almost cask-strength power.
Medicinal peat, camphor, lemon and seaweed give way to an elegant, fresh profile with roots, tar, mint and aniseed.
A superbly precise nose of mango, banana, custard and melon gives way to a powerful palate that becomes a real joy with water.
Fresh spices, lime, green pepper and candied citrus make this a very fresh, modern whisky, and the reviewer calls it a very nice bottle.
Charming aniseed, fresh barley and pineapple lead to an amusing, original palate, making this a very likeable whisky despite its short, slightly cardboardy…
