- Description
- Ardmore's 2002 vintage, bottled at 21 years old by Italian independent bottler Hidden Spirits, matured entirely in first-fill ex-bourbon cask. The nose opens with crisp green apple and honeysuckle, while the palate develops chocolate-covered banana and desiccated coconut with a honeyed warmth. This Highland malt rewards patience and suits collectors seeking mature, cask-driven expressions with balance between fruit and subtle wood influence.
