Whisky Ardmore 10 years, McCallum, 46.5%

On the nose, this whisky reveals a delicate smoke accompanied by a beautiful minerality, reminiscent of a campfire on the beach. Roasted apples and buttery notes mingle with hints of pastry and roasted apricot, while a hint of vanilla and sweet spices add depth. On the palate, the smokiness intensifies, with apples, apricots and currants, enhanced by a honeyed sweetness and marine freshness. The finish is long, marked by lingering smoke, herbal notes, fruit and a touch of salt.
