Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 597: Ardara Irish Whiskey: 2025 Edition vs Cask Strength

Mark Dermul, Belgian whisky blogger, celebrates Saint Patrick’s Day with two Irish malts. Ardara (pronounced ‘ardrah’) is a small distillery in the town of the same name in County Donegal, in the north of Ireland. They have been producing heavily peated, triple-distilled whiskey since 2021 and launched their first release in 2025, both at drinking strength (46%) and cask strength. Mark puts them head-to-head!
