- Description
- Ardmore's peaty Highland character is enriched by eight years in a single oloroso sherry cask in this 2022 release from GreatDrams. The sherry wood imparts dried fruit, spice, and subtle sweetness that complements Ardmore's smoky foundation, creating a warming festive profile. Bottled at 48.2% ABV without chill-filtration, the texture is full and uncompromised. A limited release of 200 bottles that pairs the distillery's smoke with sherry complexity—ideal for winter drinking.
