It truly is incredible the casks of whisky that Gordon & MacPhail have maturing within their warehouses and this well-aged Ardmore is another one of those drams. Distilled in 2003 and matured for 18 years in sherry casks, it was then bottled and released as part of the excellent Distillery Labels series by Gordon & MacPhail.
