Thanks for the review. I haven't looked at Ardmore in a long time. I was a fan of the Traditional Cask when it was around. Non-chill filtered, 46%, for around $30, and one of the better non-Islay peated single malts. Luckily, I still have two unopened in my "discontinued" stash.
I love Ardmore. Unfortunately you need to find a producer that respects the spirit. Of course that excludes the owner. I avoid Gordon Mcphail, so I doubt that is a great representative. Currently I have an Archives Ardmore that is excellent. I haven’t tried the Ardlair yet,so that is now on the list. Thanks for the review!
