- Description
- Ardmore's Highland character shines through in this 12-year single cask bottling, matured in one vessel and bottled at 46% ABV for Douglas Laing's Premier Barrel range. The 22-year cask influence builds a framework of dried fruit and spice around Ardmore's characteristic smoky, slightly earthy core. This limited release of 284 bottles offers the weight and complexity that comes from patient single-cask maturation. A considered dram for those who appreciate how a single cask can shape a whisky's entire character.
