Description

Ardmore 2011 – An exclusive Signatory Vintage release for Whisky Live Paris

With this 12-year-old Ardmore, independent bottler Signatory Vintage showcases the distillery’s signature style: a delicately peated Highland whisky, characterised by mineral notes and an elegant smokiness. Maturation in Oloroso sherry casks adds further depth, with hints of dried fruit, nuts and wine, which blend with the freshness of citrus and the aromas of malt.

The tasting begins with a rich, concentrated nose, blending hay, gentian, herbs and smoke. As it breathes, notes of lime and exotic fruits emerge. On the palate, the profile becomes more intense: smoked meat, citrus, dried fruit and peat make up a complex aromatic palette. The finish prolongs the smoky and malty sensations.

This whisky was distilled on 1 June 2011 and bottled on 13 July 2023 at 46% ABV. Production of this exclusive edition was limited to 867 x 70 cl bottles. This rarity, combined with the specific selection made for the Parisian trade fair, makes it an attractive choice for enthusiasts of independent whiskies and collectors of bottles linked to major specialist events.

To enjoy it, serve it at room temperature in a tulip-shaped glass. A few drops of water can further open up the aromas and soften the perception of peat. It pairs well with dried fruit, a mature cheese or as a digestif at the end of a meal. A characterful single malt that combines the tradition of the Highlands with the aromatic richness of Oloroso sherry.
