This exclusive bottling from Signatory Vintage is a powerful and unadulterated single malt Scotch whisky from the traditional Ardmore Distillery in the Highlands. Distilled in 2012 and bottled after 12 years of maturation in a 1st fill bourbon barrel, this whisky impresses with its aromatic depth, natural colour and an impressive alcohol content of 60.7% vol. cask strength – naturally not chill-filtered. The bottling bears the cask number #802004 and is limited to just a few bottles.

The typical Highland smokiness meets vanilla sweetness, spicy notes and a creamy texture. Packaged in the elegant Signatory Vintage tin box, this bottling is a highlight for collectors and lovers of cask strength Highland single malts.
