Ardmore Triple Wood

Nose: light and delicate smoke and peat, which cover other light aromas of cherry and raspberry. Really great. Palate: a gentle peat, with smoked cherry wood, sweet with notes of brackish. Really pleasant and good, too bad it's just a little too watery and not oily and dense. Final: delicate, short and sweet. This is also excellent. But what goodness! The delicate contrast between smoke / peat and juicy, sweet red fruit makes it very interesting! 4.50 rating __________________________________________________________ Naso: leggeri e delicati fumo e torba, che coprono altri aromi leggeri di ciliegia e lamponi. Ottimo davvero. Palato: una torbatura gentile, con legno di ciliegio affumicato, dolciastro con note di salmastro. Veramente piacevole e buono, peccato sia solo un po’ troppo di consistenza acquosa e non oleosa e densa. Finale: delicato, breve e dolciastro. Anche questo ottimo. Ma che bontà! Il contrasto delicato tra fumo/torba e frutta rossa succosa e dolce lo rende molto interessante! Voto 4,50

Ardmore is one of my favorites. This expression is almost an islay malt for its profile, but it is a good dram. 46%abv, amber color. On the nose: Rubber, Alcohol note is strong; Nerf toys (like tenis balls or something similar); after a couple minutes Dark chocolate opens. Prunes peel. Some salty island profile, even for a highland. Milk chocolate. On the palate is brutal. Ashy at maximum levels. Oaky at maximum levels. Black pepper. Medicinal notes. Rubber just as ardbeg or laphroaig, very similar to these two. Finish long and sulphuric. Some acid like burn, but strangely pleasant. Very balanced. Overall i score this dram with an 88 over 100. Ardmore is always solid. Cheers!
