Ardmore Traditional Cask

Built by Adam Teacher in 1989, son of the Glasgow whisky entrepreneur William Teacher, the Ardmore distillery was created to provide a core single malt whisky for their growing and now world famous blended whisky, Teacher’s® Highland Cream.

Recognizing the wide acclaim of the Ardmore Distillery’s single malt amongst whisky aficionados and an increase in consumer demand, the distillery released its first ever widely available single malt – Ardmore® Traditional Cask.

Although labor and time intensive, the process of Quarter Cask maturation allows much greater contact between the maturing spirit and the oak of the cask. When combined with the full, but relatively light peating of Ardmore®, this creates an extraordinary malt whisky that has a well-rounded flavor, a unique peat-smoke richness softened by a delicate sweetness.

Expanding on this unique combination of flavors, Ardmore® unveiled a limited edition 30 year old in 2009, available only in the United States. Aged in former Bourbon barrels and handmade quarter casks, the ultra-premium Scotch bears the same name and pedigree as its predecessor, but reveals a distinctive finish and rich, complex flavor all of its own. 1,428 individually numbered bottles will be available for legal purchase age consumers.
