The Ardmore Legacy Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750 ml

Founded 1898 highlands. Peated. Traditional cask. Matured for a final period in small 19th century style quarter casks. Non-chill filtered. Full & rich, with unique Highland peat-smoke notes. A lightly peated Highland malt with a final maturation in quarter casks, Ardmore is very much a rarity. Much like the magnificent Scottish Golden Eagle, still found riding the warm thermals above our distillery. Our traditional methods ensure a distinctive taste that is full and rich, with unique highland peat-smoke notes. Since our establishment in 1898, the magnificent Scottish golden eagle has been a regular visitor to the hills around our distillery at Ardmore and is our symbol of commitment to the traditional ways. Ardmore is non-chill filtered. This may cause it to go cloudy when water is added, this is perfectly natural for a non-chilled filtered whisky. Type: Highland single malt scotch whisky. Method: Double cask matured; 100% peated; non-chill filtered. Origin: Product of Scotland. Taste: Full, smooth, peat-smoke and earthy richness, tempered by subtle sweetness. Location: Distilled at the Ardmore distillery, Kennethmont, Aberdeenshire. Strength: 46% alc/vol. Founded in 1898 by one of Scotland's most famous whisky families, Ardmore Single Malt has a long commitment to quality. William Teacher was a believer in traditional distilling methods and insisted that Ardmore only used the aromatic smoke from natural. Highland peat fires to dry our malted barley. Sadly, today, the high cost has meant that only one Highland Distillery still routinely fully 'peats' its standard malt. Ardmore is rightly proud to be that distillery. Our traditional methods extend to maturation. Ardmore Traditional Cask is double matured, first in the more usual oak barrels, and then in much smaller Quarter Casks'. These were common in the 19th century, but are too costly for most distillers to use today. Finally, bottled at 46% ABV, Ardmore is only barrier rather than chill filtered thus preserving the natural flavours. These methods ensure we maintain the quality of our uniquely complex and rewarding malt whisky. 46% alc/vol. Product of Scotland.
