Ardara Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey
Ardara Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey delivers a refined Irish interpretation of peat, combining gentle smoke with the smooth, approachable character that Irish whiskey is known for. Matured in a balanced combination of ex-bourbon barrels and ex-sherry casks, this whiskey showcases soft peat smoke layered with honeyed malt, orchard fruit, vanilla, and subtle spice.
Bottled at 46% ABV, Ardara Peated offers enhanced flavour intensity while remaining elegant and accessible. It is an excellent choice for drinkers who enjoy smoky whisky without overpowering peat, and a perfect crossover dram for Scotch lovers exploring Irish whiskey.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Soft peat smoke, honey, green apple, vanilla, toasted oak, and hints of dried fruit.
Palate: Smooth and balanced with light smoke, sweet barley, caramel, orchard fruit, gentle sherry richness, and warming spice. Rounded and refined.
Finish: Medium-long, clean, and warming with lingering soft smoke, malt sweetness, and subtle oak spice.
