A balanced Highland peated profile with soft, rolling smoke layered over gentle vanilla sweetness from ex-bourbon oak. Bright citrus and orchard fruits add freshness, while light toasted oak provides structure without overpowering the spirit, resulting in a clean, rounded whisky with restrained peat and steady maturity.

The cask originates from Ardmore Distillery, located on the edge of the Grampian Mountains in Aberdeenshire. Founded in 1898, Ardmore is unique among Highland distilleries for producing a traditionally peated spirit, giving its whisky a distinctive smoky and earthy character. Over time, Ardmore has developed a strong reputation with independent bottlers for its reliability, consistency, and excellent maturation performance.

The distillery’s spirit combines gentle Highland peat, soft sweetness, and a clean mineral edge. It is particularly well suited to bourbon cask maturation, where it develops freshness, subtle fruit, and refined smoke.
