From a Distillery with more ups and downs that a pogoing punk comes Ardcore. Created with roasted black malt, roasted to the extreme, this spirit is all about what happens up front – centre stage. The malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Described as tasting like ‘biting on a spiky ball’, Ardcore is a dram that wears its heart on its sleeve… its black heart!

Nose: Spicy, savoury and ‘grippy’, with an explosion of savoury marmite/yeast, burnt toast and charcoal and chicory infused coffee grounds

Taste: An astonishing, spicy, fiery palate leads into a explosion of rich, powerful flavours – cocoa powder, rich dark chocolate, peanut brittle toffee, smoked lime and a suggestion of soot and bonfire embers.

Finish: There is lots of liquorice/aniseed, along with some altogether sweeter, malty/biscuit flavours, and a long, lingering treacle toffee aftertaste.
