Colour - Dark rich amber. Aroma - Together with an initial rich malty burst, the sweet pear and the apple fragrance seem to mask the drier peat flavour which underlies the multitude of delicious aromas. Flavour - A vast alternating change of tastes varying from immense sweetness to dry slightly tart oakiness with all variations in between, surrounded by the unique liquor ice root smokiness from the Ardmore peat. Finish - Exceptionally long lasting.
