Tasting Notes
Ardmore's 19 Year Old Pedro Ximénez Cask Finish (Darkness) is a heavenly indulgence for whisky enthusiasts seeking a rich, complex, and captivating experience. This single malt whisky, having spent nearly two decades patiently maturing, is further elevated by a meticulous finish in a custom-made Pedro Ximénez sherry octave cask. The smaller octave cask allows for an intimate embrace between the spirit and the wood, imparting generous sherry influences that dance across the senses. The nose entices with toasted coconut, a whisper of engine oil, damp charcoal, and chewy treacle toffee. On the palate, earthy peat smoke and treacle envelop the meaty malt, accompanied by barky, woody spices. The finish lingers with sticky toffee, cured meat, honey-soaked prunes, and raisins, all underscored by resinous oak. This whisky is a symphony of flavors, effortlessly blending the essence of time-honored traditions with the innovative flair of the Darkness indie bottling range.
