Immediate impression of smoked fish, seaweed and peat smoke embracing lemon juice. Nice and fresh with unripe pineapple, stewed unspiced apple, boiled sweets and struck matches to boot. All supported by a light malty background. A smooth, well-balanced lovely dram.

In 1898 the Teacher family built Ardmore, to secure access to single malt for their eponymous blend. Although the family no longer owns Ardmore, the product is still at the core of Teacher’s Highland blend. Until 2002 the pot stills were directly fired, in a time that most distilleries already had switched to indirect heating. The impressive furnaces can still be seen in the still house. Ardmore has had different owners over time, among which a Spanish (Allied Domecq) and an American one (Jim Beam). In 2014 Suntory took over Beam and since then Ardmore is owned by the Japanese. To celebrate that event Ardmore Legacy was launched.

Ardmore is medium peated, which is rather unusual for a Speyside single malt. It is a perfect introduction to the peaty style for those not acquainted with that style yet. The distillery also makes an unpeated version called Ardlair, which is strictly used for blending purposes.
