Ardmore 2008 Berry Bro’s German Retailers Choice – 56,3%

This Ardmore 2008 was chosen during a dealer’s trip to London. Together with a few colleagues, we decided on a few barrels from Berry Bro’s. The whisky matured in a Madeira cask and is limited to 253 bottles. The Ardmore was bottled with a cask strength of 56.3%.

Our Tasting Notes
This Ardmore successfully combines a pleasant peat smoke note (which is rather gentle compared to peated Islay whiskeys due to the Highland peat used) with the sweetness of the Madeira cask in which it spent the second part of its maturing period. Cold campfire in the nose, then a lush sweetness on the palate that quickly alternates with pleasant oily-smoky notes.
