This is a 14-year-old Ardmore single malt bottled by independent bottler Signatory Vintage at a robust natural strength of 57.1% ABV. Ardmore is widely associated with Highland malt character and a peat influence, while Oloroso sherry butt maturation can add richer oak and dried-fruit notes.
For a novice drinker, expect a fuller, more intense style that may combine smoke, malt, spice, and sherried richness. The high strength means it will likely show best sipped slowly, and a little water may help open up the aromas and soften the palate.
