This 11-year-old single malt from Ardmore was bottled from a single cask at cask strength, so it is likely to show a more individual and concentrated style than a large standard release. Ardmore is a Highland distillery known for making whisky with a gently smoky character.
As a 2020 release from a 2008 vintage, this bottling is aimed at drinkers who enjoy seeing how one cask can present a distillery’s house style in a more direct way. The high strength means it may reward a small splash of water to open up the aromas and texture.
