Macbeth Collection Ardmore 12 Year
$151.99
Part of a massive 42 bottle collection of whiskies, wherein each release represents a character from Shakespeare's MacBeth.
Mainland malt matured in ex-Laphroaig barrels. Y'all know how good these have been in the past. Won't last long.
Producer Note: “Ardmore, unusually for a Highland distillery, creates a consistently brilliant peated whisky, yet it has often lived in the shadows as a single malt. I am pleased to bring this gem to the stage as one of The Household: for Seyton, beholden to Macbeth, it has been matured in a cask from its intensely smoky Islay cousin, yet retains a fresh, herbaceous quality.”
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 52.5% abv
G&M Distillery Label Ardmore 1996
$389.99
Bottled under Gordon & MacPhail's Distillery Label range, this 1996 vintage Ardmore was matured in refill American hogsheads, before bottling at 46%. It is comparable aged and priced to the 25 Year G&M CC Ardmore 1997 KWM Cask we are expecting in early April... thought the latter is cask strength, and rather sherried!

G&M Distillery Label Ardmore 2000
$177.99
Hot take: the G&M semi-official Ardmore, bottled under the Distillery Label series, is far superior to the official branded releases. It's also abundantly clear that Ardmore is being handled with love and care at Gordon & MacPhail, where they match that big earthy, organic spirit profile with incredibly complimentary cask types. In this case, Refill Sherry Hogsheads. Miss this one at your own risk.
Natural colour, non chill-filtered, and bottled at 46%.
Whisky Sponge Ardmore 2000 Ed.69
$464.99

Producer Note
"This 2000 Ardmore is a great medley of farmy, earthy, smoky and sherry notes. We don’t normally go for whiskies that have been finished or re-racked. However, in this instance, the quality and richness of the sherry influence married so well with the fat, lightly peaty Ardmore distillate character that we couldn’t resist this lovely dark and gooey concoction. Bottled at natural cask strength, the finish is long and going towards tar resins, wood oils, mineral oil, strop leather and sooty waxes."
