Ardmore 1996 20yo 49.3% 700ml information

Situated where the grassy, rolling fields of Aberdeenshire gradually transform into the Scottish Highlands, the Ardmore Distillery's historic buildings have been producing exceptional whisky since their founding by Adam Teacher in 1898. Despite there being another distillery with the same name on the Isle of Islay some decades earlier, this Ardmore is celebrated for its "Peated Single Malt" whiskies, easily recognized by the bronze-golden eagle on its labels. The distillery's unique character is upheld by using the clear waters from the Knockandy Hill spring, contributing to the distinctive quality of their whiskies. Although Ardmore isn't widely known for age-statement releases, the 20-year-old Ardmore 1996 is a notable exception, distilled in 1996 and bottled in 2017. This remarkable whisky matured in American oak Bourbon-First-Fill casks before receiving a finishing touch in former Islay casks, imparting it with a unique profile. At 49.3% ABV and offered in a 700ml bottle, this expression is both complex and supremely balanced, making it a must-try for whisky connoisseurs.

Reviewer's Opinion

The Ardmore 1996 20-year-old is a brilliant example of a Highland malt that bridges traditional and modern whisky crafting techniques.
