Tri Carragh Ardmore 11 Year Old Tasting Notes
Nose: The nose bursts with light peat smoke, reminiscent of glowing embers. As the smoke settles, sweet notes emerge: vanilla, lemon, pineapple, and buttery pastries.
Palate: This is a sweet-and-smoky dram with layers that unfold in waves. With water, the pastry notes become more pronounced, revealing even greater complexity. The reduced palate follows the same path - a whisky full of depth and character.
Finish: Long and lingering.
About this Tri Carragh whisky
Tri Carragh presents this bold 11-year-old Ardmore, distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2025 as a single cask release of just 221 bottles. Matured in a second fill ex-Laphroaig barrel, it brings a distinctive twist to Ardmore’s Highland peat style, combining gentle smoke with layers of sweetness. Bottled at natural cask strength (59.8%) with no chill filtration or added colour, this is an authentic, full-flavoured dram.
On the nose, glowing embers of peat drift into vanilla, lemon zest, pineapple, and buttery pastries. The palate is a sweet-and-smoky interplay that unfolds in waves, with pastry notes deepening further when a drop of water is added. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of smoky fruit and soft sweetness.
A superb example of how Ardmore’s character can shine when influenced by an Islay-seasoned cask, this bottling delivers Highland peat with a subtle Islay edge.
