Mouth: sweet smoke with exotic notes of pineapple and malt.
Finish: Lively, smoky, waxy.
The Ardmore distillery is located at the highest point of the Northern Highlands railway, 600 feet from sea level, near the small village of Kennethmont. It was created in 1897, and has a character that is described as ambiguous because blindly it is closer to the islands than to the mainland.
The trading house Signatory is not one of the oldest in Scotland, yet it has managed to build a very good reputation among the great malt connoisseurs. It is best known for its bottling in cask crude and without cold filtering, allowing the amateur to taste his whisky in the most natural state possible. It also has a distillery.
