Tasting Notes

Nose

Gentle peat, honey, polished oak. Twenty years have given Ardmore's peated Highland spirit genuine maturity. Beneath the smoke, dried fruit, vanilla and a gentle warmth.

Palate

Gently peated and mature — smoke, dried fruit, a gentle warmth. Twenty years have mellowed the peat into something composed. Mid-palate brings dark chocolate, a gentle spice and a warm depth.

Finish

Long, with mature peat and gentle warmth.

Ardmore 20 Year Old presents the peated Highland distillery — backbone of Teacher's blended whisky — at genuine maturity. Twenty years soften and compose the peat, revealing depths that younger expressions cannot show.

The peated Highland style at twenty years is genuinely compelling. The smoke has mellowed, the fruit has developed, and the oak has added polish. Ardmore's typically rustic peat character becomes something refined and contemplative.

Ardmore 20 is an impressive aged Highland peated malt that demonstrates the distillery's quality beyond its blending role. The maturity is genuine and rewarding.
