- Description
- Ardmore's 12-year-old finished in ex-Laphroaig cask creates an unexpected Highland-Islay hybrid, combining Ardmore's peaty character with additional peat layering. Malty sweetness underpins salty, peat-driven notes, with bold depth unfolding across the palate. The cask finish adds complexity without overwhelming the base spirit's character. Ideal for those seeking Highland peat with lighter touch than full Islay expressions.
