- Today we're back for another simi blind sample review. This time from one of our favorite independent bottlers and a distillery we basically know nothing about.

Only had younger (12yr) Ardmore so far, and it had some pretty good peat. Last winter, I bought myself an Old Particular Ardmore 25 from 1997 53.3% refill bourbon hogshead. It was a unique small run of unpeated malt, but it is reported that there is a hint of peat as the distillery runs peated malt all the time otherwise. That plus the coal fired stills should be great. It is put away for a future birthday or some other special occasion. Cheers guys
We had a couple of Ardmores at a private tasting some months ago. They were very good surprises. To be fair, none of us expected too much, but they really over performed🙂
Great review as always - love what you are able to pull out of a small sample! This was a K&L exclusive from a couple of years ago. I really enjoyed it. Refill sherry but not much more info than that. I really need to send bigger samples though 😂
Dustin likes his excuses 🤣🤣. Anything for a disclaimer.
Terrific review guys!! Fabulous!! I’m a huge burnt taste fan! Blunter, fattier meat sounds delicious!! Wowza! Love your thoughts!! Cheers!!
Oh, I agree. From beef brisket to bacon. Is Ash going too far?
@@topshelfwhisky No! Ash is bang on Mike! You and Dustin nailed this beauty!! Delicious!! Love the peat!! 🙂I have had the Ardmore 30!! 🙂I bet Dustin's look is a killer - glad he got a discount!! I want those discounts!! Lol! 🙂
I think Ardmore did direct fire their stills when this was distilled.
I believe they switched over to steam just before this in 2002.
