BOTTLED EXCLUSIVELY FOR GREATDRAMS, THIS LIMITED EDITION
ARDMORE 8 YEAR OLD SINGLE CASK SINGLE MALT WHISKY BOTTLING IS A RELEASE OF JUST 299 BOTTLES GLOBALLY. ONCE IT IS GONE, IT REALLY IS GONE.
To celebrate the launch of my new book, The GreatDrams of Scotland, I worked with the fine folks at Douglas Laing to choose a cask that I would bottle in commemoration, and after going through a number of samples, this Ardmore 8 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Whisky hit me as the one to choose; not only does it taste fantastic, but Ardmore was actually the first Scottish whisky distillery I ever visited, and happens to feature in the book for being part of the Teacher’s blend recipe.

Bottled under the Douglas Laing Provenance label they explain as being “bottled exactly as the distiller intended – without colouring and without chill filtration, so that the naturally present oils, fats and enzymes in the Whisky are allowed to make their own special contribution to the nose, mouthfeel, palate and finish”.
My notes when choosing which cask to bottle read like this:
The nose combines light smoke, subtle honey, tropical fruits & a wisp of toasted pineapple. Each evokes gloriously sweet smoke, molten toffee & lovely oaky note with a biscuity character, finishing with soft white pepper spice.
