SMWS Coastal Quarry Cookout Ardmore 12 Year Old Cask 66.254 is a distinctive single-cask Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky independently bottled by The Scotch Malt Whisky Society. Distilled on July 7, 2011, at Ardmore Distillery, this expression matured for 12 years in a refill ex-bourbon barrel before being released in November 2024. Bottled at cask strength, with an outturn of just 242 bottles for the Canadian release, it belongs to the Society's Oily & Coastal flavour profile. Its character combines sweet peat smoke, maritime freshness, vanilla, citrus and savoury complexity.
Food Pairing: Excellent with smoked salmon, grilled oysters, barbecued pork, chargrilled prawns and aged cheddar. Its coastal smokiness also complements roasted mushrooms, smoked almonds and lemon-seasoned seafood.
Tasting Notes: A distinctive balance of sweet peat smoke, creamy vanilla, coastal salinity and savoury richness. Notes of smoked orchard fruit, citrus, seaweed and toasted grains develop alongside herbal freshness and gently charred flavours.
Nose: Sweet peat smoke rises alongside vanilla, damp coastal stone, gentle soot and fresh sea air. Hints of lemon, smoky orchard fruit and maritime vegetation bring complexity.
Palate: Rich and oily, with warming peat smoke, vanilla pod, smoked peach, savoury seaweed and toasted oatcakes. A splash of water introduces briny lemon, smoked grapes and a refreshing coastal character.
Finish: Lingering and savoury, with burnt heather, cured meats, gentle smoke and a refreshing touch of minty, resinous herbs.
