- Description
- Ardmore's 9-year-old Highland single malt underwent a decade of maturation across Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry casks, delivering a heavily Sherried expression bottled by Càrn Mòr at 47.5% ABV. The dual sherry regimen creates layers of dried fruit, dark toffee, and warming spice, with Ardmore's characteristic earthy depth providing ballast beneath the wine influence. Limited to 1,272 bottles, this release emphasizes the distillery's ability to absorb cask influence while maintaining Highland character. A solid choice for those seeking Sherried Highland whisky with substance and balance.
