DECADENT DRAMS ARDMORE – 15 YEAR OLD

This latest Decadent Drams is a wonderfully vibrant and distillate-driven 2009, 15 year old Ardmore.

We are fans of Ardmore here at Decadent Drinks, so much so that we would bottle a lot more of it if anyone actually bought the stuff! This lovely bottling matured for most of its life in a refill barrel, before we decided to ‘double down on the dead wood’ and re-racked it into a totally knackered old refill butt for the final two years of its maturation.

It had a mini galaxy of headspace inside this butt, all to itself, which enabled it to become even more thick, syrupy and juicily ‘Ardmorey’. Anyway, we bottled this resulting whisky with a few degrees reduction at 53% to help maximise this lovely distillate character and general, all round sippability of the whisky. Then we put a lovely sunny label on it and here it is. Over to you, the consumer, to do your duty!
