- Ardmore's Highland character is tempered and deepened by eight years in ex-bourbon cask before a finishing period in first-fill Madeira, yielding a spirit bottled at robust 57.1% ABV that balances the distillery's signature peat with wine-forward complexity. Only 300 bottles were released non-chill filtered.
