Ardmore Traditional Cask Scotch Whisky

Ardmore Traditional Cask has the aroma of creamy peat and ripe fruit. It begins smooth and rich, but the peat makes an almost immediate appearance for a genuine experience. This tangy, peat punch made me step back for a minute and is backed by a gentle, creamy vanilla and fruit. The finish is full, warm and succulent that makes a lasting impression.

Enjoy this whisky at its full bottling strength or add a bit of water to release a dry aroma and sweet fruit, which are otherwise transparent characteristics. But don't be afraid to mix Ardmore Traditional Cask, at this price you can afford it and its smoky, distinct peatiness adds an extra level to some of the best Scotch cocktails of all time. That said, don't go mixing it with just anything; spend the money on the best vermouths, amarettos and whatever else you're going to use. Anything else would degrade the Scotch significantly. The Rusty Nail, Rob Roy, Affinity and Godfather are all worthy cocktails.
