Growing up, as one does when one lives in a Rockwell painting, I had lots of porridge. I never knew about Quaker Oats packages, or the different flavours. I knew that it was cooked on the stove, it was thick, and I covered it in brown sugar.

Now my time living as Oliver with parents didn’t leave me with bland flavours, and I hope that my past reviews show that. They did, however, leave me with enjoying porridge.

So when Ardmore SMWS 66.93 “Smoked Porridge” came out to be drank, I was quite interested. I like Porridge. I enjoy peated Ardmore. And finally, I have childhood memories of porridge, and thus a high standard for it.

So let’s see how this tastes, shall we?
