Summer in a bottle. Bright, fruity, juicy, yet floral with campfires way in the distance....if you're looking to extend that summer feeling then look no further than this Ardmore.
Nose: Lemon pinwheels and sweet custard to start followed by fresh wild flowers and dry hay. Dandelion jam spread over toasted wheat bread, The Peat is there but seems to be quite happy to take a back seat to additional notes of honey dew, cantaloupe, and casaba melon.
Palate: Wonderfully rich and oily entry but bright with flavors of flying saucer sweets, icing sugar, toasted marshmallows, and honeycomb on the first wave then chamomile tea, subtle hints of gunpowder, campfire embers, coal dust, smoked apple cause on the second wave.
