- Description
- This 16-year-old Ardmore, distilled in May 2000 and aged in a refill barrel until June 2016, was bottled by Douglas Laing for the Old Particular range in a limited run of 84 bottles. The smoke character—a signature of Ardmore's heavily peated malt—is integrated and subtle after 16 years, allowing underlying honey, spice, and dried fruit to balance the peat. Full-bodied and warming with a persistent smoky finish. A rare cask that demonstrates how time mellows Ardmore's assertive character into something nuanced and complex.
