Bottling Notes:
Single cask bottling form independent bottler Finn Thomson of a 2009 Ardmore. Bottled after maturing for 14 years in an American Oak ex Bourbon Barrel.
Upon first tasting this cask, Finn detected an inherent sweetness that served as a delicious undercurrent to the smoke. He then made te decision to emphasise the whisky's natural sweetness by finishing it in a cask of Hungarian Oak, once used for Tokaji Wine.
Ardmore Distillery has been the backbone of Teacher’s for many a year giving the peaty character that made it so popular in the 1980s. As a single malt, Ardmore offers a unique style of smokiness that is far apart from the better known Islay styles.

A subtel dance between Scottish Highland peat and Hungarian grape; a sweet and smokey dram that brings together flavours as disparate as their roots, combinging to create an exceedingly moreish whole.
