- Description
- Ardmore's unpeated single malt, here presented as Ardlair, completed its 10-year maturation with a finishing period in a first-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead, yielding 211 bottles. The sherry finish imparts rich, dark-fruit character and subtle nuttiness while preserving Ardmore's inherent cereal sweetness and approachable Highland profile. A balanced expression that shows how Speyside influence pairs with Ardmore's distinctive style. Ideal for those seeking sherry-matured Highland character without the peat.
