Limited to just 661 bottles, this expression is presented at a remarkable cask strength of 59.6%, boasting its natural color and free from chill-filtration.
On the nose, this Ardmore expression reveals an intricate bouquet of malty biscuits, tobacco, and raisins, interwoven with hints of peat, seaweed, iodine, vanilla, and citrus.

The finish is both long and evocative, with lingering notes of damp, smoldering bonfire, spice, and the characteristic Ardmore smokiness.
