Ardmore Daily Dram (en)

The bottle has finished third (tie with Celtic Heartlands Glenlivet) in the general rehearsal is the Ardmore 18 years of Daily Dram. Another bottle financially affordable as it costs 53 euros.
Here too a difference of 11 points between the highest score and lowest, namely 80 to 91 points. The average is 84.58 points.
The two extreme notes:
Alouis
Color: straw yellow
Nose: That whisky is very delicate, subtle and elegant.
The nose is slightly smoky, vanilla and a little finely spiced.
With aeration some fruits appear, apple, peach and very ripe pear.
It becomes more and more floral and sweet with hints waxy.
Taste: What a treat to the palate, it is also fine and balanced.
You have a fairly amount of fruit, grapefruit, peach, citrus and a touch of vanilla.
In the mouth too this slight woody smoke brings a nice complexity.
The finish is beautiful floral notes on the heath.
Long finish between citrus acidity and hints of salt.
91/100


jmputz
Colour: Pale yellow
The nose is immediately fruity, with aromas of green fruit mingling a bit abruptly with hints of vanilla. A slight tingling strikes slightly the pleasure. After a few moments It fortunately disappears and the smell of cut grass now seems to hover over the nose that gradually loses its intensity, at least if you hold the glass at a distance.
A strange bitterness following a first significantly acidulated and fruity attack. The taste of green fruit, or more accurately the tastes of sour candy that was initially dominant for a few seconds disappear as if by magic to give way to bitterness and quickly ... nearly nothing.
The finish is in the perfect extension of the evolution of the mouth, where a rapid degradation of the sensations described perfectly the evolution of this whisky.
However, discretion is transformed into a pleasant bitterness, and after this rather spectacular collapse in the mouth, this finish seems to save the whole by an unexpected length.
80/100

This Ardmore ... I just love it.

I actually drnak it at the Witch and liked it a lot - I'm still wondering how I manage not to buy it ...
Anyway I had it blind a couple of months later and liked it even more !

Around 70€, it should be in my collection pretty soon.
