Ardmore

Founded by the Teacher family in 1898, the Ardmore distillery produces a single malt with an unusual, smoky aromatic flavour. This peculiarity is due to locally sourced Aberdeenshire peat, cut by the Northern Peat & Moss Company of St. Fergus, forty miles away as the crow flies. Aberdeenshire peat is totally different from the better known maritime peat. It is richer in carbon notes and lacks sphagnum, present in iodine notes, common in whisky peat smoked Islay.
