Facts

Ardmore Triple Wood comes from a distillery built high above Kennethmont, where peat has long shaped the house style. This bottling keeps Highland character and adds layers through three cask sizes, so smoke feels textured, not blunt. You get cereal and honey at first, then citrus brightness and a gentle earthy drift. The whisky stays lively in the glass, with fresh fruit and malty depth moving together instead of competing. It feels like a peated Highland malt for drinkers who want detail, not just power.

About the distillery

Distillery

Ardmore

Adam Teacher built Ardmore in 1898 at Kennethmont, deep in the Highland countryside of Scotland. He needed reliable malt for the family blend, Teacher's Highland Cream. The site had peat, barley, spring water from Knockandy Hill and a railway running past the door. Ardmore is one of the few Highland distilleries built around peated whisky. The smoke here is gentle, around 14 ppm, far softer than the heavy Islay malts. That gives it a warm, smoky character with a sweet edge. The distillery clung to old ways longer than most. Its stills stayed coal-fired until 2001, among the last in Scotland. When the fires finally went out, the team kept the flavour alive. They spent seven months shaping kinked steam coils to copy the hot spots the flames once made.

About the Ardmore Triple Wood

Ardmore Triple Wood is a Highland single malt whisky from Scotland, made at Ardmore Distillery. Ardmore Distillery sits near Kennethmont in Aberdeenshire and has built its name on peated Highland spirit. Ardmore Triple Wood is a travel retail release, bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered. Its triple maturation uses American oak barrels, quarter casks, and puncheons, which gives the whisky extra grip and breadth. In the glass, this single malt opens with cereal sweetness, honey, and soft citrus lift. Lemon zest and fresh fruit notes keep the smoky core bright rather than heavy. A malty centre and light oily texture carry the palate forward. Hints of earth and mineral character sit underneath the sweeter notes and add depth. You may also notice vegetative tones and a meatycereal edge that makes the profile feel savoury. Ardmore’s site is unusual because it sits about 600 feet above sea level near the northern railway. The railway helped founder Adam Teacher move materials from Glasgow to this remote Highland location. The distillery still draws water from springs on Knockandy Hill, a detail the brand continues to highlight. That strong link to place helps explain why Ardmore keeps a clear house style of peat, structure, and dryness. For buyers searching for peated Highland whisky with balance, Ardmore Triple Wood is a reliable choice. It delivers smoky character without losing sweetness, so it suits both curious newcomers and regular peat drinkers. Enjoy this whisky neat to follow its shift from honeyed cereal into drier, earthy smoke. For anyone comparing options online, this bottle stands out as a distinct Ardmore expression. As a travel retail bottling, Ardmore Triple Wood also has collector appeal for fans of distillery-exclusive style.
