Ardmore 12 Year Old Port Wood Finish Single Malt: Peaty, Fruity, and Elegantly Balanced

Ardmore 12 Year Old Port Wood Finish is a distinguished Highland single malt crafted at Ardmore Distillery in Kennethmont, Scotland, established in 1898. This expression is initially aged for 12 years in American ex-bourbon barrels, then finished in European port pipes to introduce a mellow sweetness. Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, it offers a rich ruby-gold complexion with natural character.

On the nose, it unveils classic Ardmore peat smoke intertwined with bright summer fruits like strawberries, red grapes, and red apples, alongside spices such as cinnamon and a touch of burnt orange zest. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, delivering ripe red apple and honey sweetness from the bourbon casks, followed by delicate peat smoke, subtle vanilla, and flamed orange peel echoes.

The finish is long and satisfying, starting sweet with lingering honeyed richness before drying into smoke and oak with a hint of port-derived fruitiness.

Crafted through traditional distillation methods and a dual-cask maturation approach, Ardmore Port Wood Finish beautifully balances Highland peat with wine cask elegance.
