- Description
- Ardmore's Highland peat character develops over two decades in refill hogshead cask 13770 from October 1996 to April 2017, independently bottled by Hunter Laing with 278 bottles released. The extended maturation softens Ardmore's characteristic smoke while allowing subtle spice and grain character to emerge. A mature take on Highland peat for those seeking balanced, aged complexity.
