Coopers Choice Ardmore No Age Statement ‘Heavily Peated’ 46%
Bourbon Cask 884/ Dist: ? Btl: 2015(?)/ Tasted: May 2016
I’m somewhat confused. Why bottle a single cask without an age statement? Yes, it’s young, probably no older than 5 or 6 years, but it has some lovely, slightly perfumed white fruit, unsweetened pineapple and banana with hints of coal dust and rubber.
The palate is a fairly watery and underpowered with hints of estery apricot, pineapple and banana. Very softly peated with hints of herbs and sweet barley. Long with lingering dry peat and spice. Someone has a funny definition of heavily peated!
