1990s Mid Teachers Highland Cream 1 litre

Teachers means Ardmore! And old Ardmores can be terrific!

Colour: Full gold.Nose: This one is much more vegetal and grassy than all the other ones. A little coal smoke, cut grass, paraffin, pencil shavings, ink, peat, beer…

Mouth: Now we’re talking! Fat, big, punchy, peaty, candied, creamy… What a beautiful attack! And then come the lemons and the grapefruits, together with even more peat, spices (chilli!) and crystallised orange zests. Impressive, very impressive.The palate is quite incredible. This would send many malts back to school – indeed!.
