Ardmore 15 Years (2007/2023) Mouton bouillie Cask 66.239 - The Scotch Malt Whisky Society

In the heart of the Scottish Highlands, where the air is infused with peat and heather, the Ardmor Mouton Bouillie was created, a whisky that has not only been matured for 15 years, but also combines the essence of the Ardmore distillery with the eccentricity of an independent bottler such as the Scotch Malt Whisky Society.

Tasting

Nose

From the very first breath, this whisky transports the senses to a freshly heated sauna, where the warm wood fills the room. A hint of ripe pears and freshly cut hay mingle with an invigorating note of green tea. It's like walking across a freshly mown meadow in summer, while the clear mountain air refreshes the spirit.

Palate

The whisky is oily and smooth on the tongue, with a sweet honey note reminiscent of dark forest honey. But then it becomes deeper, almost shadier - the sweet notes give way to a hint of pine cones and a slightly mineral freshness.

Finish

The finish is not intrusive, but medium-long and elegant. A slight tingle is reminiscent of the spicy intensity of the Highlands, while the sweet pear note lingers discreetly.

Verdicts

Marcel

A whisky that immediately wins your heart with its warm wooden sauna character and sweet honey notes. The combination of freshness and depth makes it a charming companion that leaves you wanting more – perfect for relaxed evenings with good food.

Sascha

The Ardmore 2007 impresses with its balanced interplay between sweet honey notes and mineral freshness, supported by an oily, smooth texture. Its complex structure and elegant, medium-length finish make it a high-quality Highland whisky with technical finesse.
