Fragrant DropsArdmore

Fragrant Drops Ardmore is a 15-year-old single malt Scotch whisky from the Highlands, bottled from a single refill bourbon barrel at natural cask strength. This style of maturation often lets the distillery character show clearly, with oak influence that is usually more measured than in a first-fill cask.

Ardmore is broadly known for making malt with a noticeable smoky edge, though usually in a more restrained way than heavily peated styles. For a novice drinker, expect a whisky that may combine gentle smoke with vanilla, oak, and malt-led notes in a focused, single-cask presentation.
