70cl / 51.5% / Douglas Laing
- This 1997 Ardmore was bottled in 2018 by Douglas Laing for its Old Particular series. Matured for 21 years in a single refill hogshead, this Highland single malt has an elegant, refined character. The nose is earthy & rich, with orange peel, cloves & black pepper building gently. The palate is chalky & drying, with sharp blueberries & blackcurrants leading the palate, & rich malt building into a lightly smoky finish.
