Founded in 1798, the Highland Park distillery in Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands is the northernmost distillery in Scotland. Due to its special location, especially the peat in Orkney, which differs significantly from the Islay peat, the whisky has a special taste. One of its basic flavours is the much-cited “heather sweetness”. The water comes from a lower spring, Cattie Maggie’s Quarry.

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

Jannik (Whizita Admin) — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 12:39:48 +0000

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.
