The name Ardlair refers to the unpeated variant from the well-known Ardmore Distillery in the Scottish Highlands. These rare bottlings are particularly sought after by connoisseurs, as they highlight the distillery’s fruity and elegant character. Distilled in 2011 and matured for over 15 years, this whisky showcases the authentic character of a single-cask maturation in a selected refill Oloroso sherry butt. The long maturation in an Oloroso sherry butt lends this Highland single malt Scotch whisky an impressive depth and complexity. The use of a refill cask ensures that the distillery’s distinctive character remains clearly recognisable, whilst at the same time incorporating elegant sherry aromas, dried fruit and spicy cask notes. This cask-strength whisky is bottled at a robust 64 % vol., without chill filtration and without the addition of colouring. This ensures that the natural texture, the full concentration of aromas and the individuality of the cask are fully preserved. The high-quality tin box perfectly complements the exclusive presentation of this limited edition bottling.</p><p><strong>Tasting Note</strong></p><p>Colour: Dark gold to amber.
