Ardmore Thompson Bros Single Malt Scotch 25 year old 48.9% ABV Nose: Sindhri mango and kumquat fuse with farmyardy earthiness and scented petrol, brightened by mineral pinot gris and fennel leaves; a gorse bush aflame adds smoky, resinous warmth. Palate: BBQ’d yellow fruits fuse with a creamy, velvety texture, carried by lemongrass and a whisper of eucalyptus. A refined balance of phenols and sweetness lingers on the palate, finishing with a gentle warmth and quiet complexity. Finish: Dark chocolate mingles with biscoff, an ashy edge sharpening the finish before fading into a generous, round warmth that lingers long on the palate.
