Ardmore Traditional Peated Whisky [1000ML]

Description

Looking for a genuinely peated single malt that delivers authentic Highland character without breaking the bank?

As a certified spirits specialist at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store, I’m consistently impressed by Ardmore Traditional Peated Whisky. This Premium expression represents exceptional value in the peated Whisky category, offering robust smoke character that rivals expressions costing significantly more. While collectors often gravitate toward Ardmore 12 Years Port Wood Finish for added complexity, this Traditional bottling showcases the distillery’s core DNA beautifully. Those seeking bolder peat intensity might explore Peat’s Beast Cask Strength, but Ardmore’s approachability makes it ideal for both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts.

• Distillery: Ardmore – established 1898 in the Speyside Highlands
• Region: Highland – known for balancing peat with sweet malt characteristics
• ABV: 40% – accessible strength highlighting smoke without overpowering palate
• Volume: 700ml
• Maturation: Traditional oak casks delivering classic Highland profile
• Tasting Notes: Aromatic peat smoke on the nose with honey sweetness, palate reveals charred oak, vanilla, and cinnamon spice, finishing with lingering gentle smoke and toasted barley
• Best Served: Neat in a Glencairn glass at room temperature, or with a splash of water to open aromatics

Our spirits specialists at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store have found this expression particularly food-friendly compared to heavily peated Islay malts. The balanced smoke profile complements rather than dominates, making it remarkably versatile for Malaysian cuisine pairings.

Ideal for: Weekend gatherings, introducing friends to peated whisky, or building your home bar collection. Pairs with: Smoky char siu, beef rendang with its deep spices, grilled satay, and rich curry laksa. Recommended for: Peat-curious drinkers ready to explore beyond standard malts, or fans of Teeling Blackpitts Peated Single Malt seeking Highland alternatives at RM 240.
