Ardmore Traditional Cask
Year sampled: 2009
Comments; non-chill filtered. The distillery is very near to Speyside territory.
Color: Light brown
Nose: slight mustard, cherry, barley
Palate: Sharp, crisp, raisin, cinnamon, peppermint
Finish: Long, one-dimensional
Overall: Too barley heavy. Comparable to Clynelish, both of which taste better out of the Reidel glass than the Glencairn glass (stay tuned for elaborations on snifter comparisons).
