Ardmore 16 Years Old 2008 Dramfool 0.70 ltr 53.3%

0.70 ltr 53.3%

A new distillery to the Dramfool line-up, we are delighted with this peated Highland malt. Its smoky notes normally coming with more wood and charcoal flavors, this example brings the classic Highland smoke in combination with a little bit of Islay!

Fully matured in a bourbon cask which previously housed the famous Prohibition-rules-bending Islay single malt, all these layers combine to create a complex and fascinating whisky.

Highland meets Islay in a wonderful way!

This whiskey has matured for 16 years in Bourbon Barrel #708520, yielding only 129 bottles at cask strength of 53.3%
