This bottling of Douglas Laing's Old Particular Ardmore 10 Year Old Scotch Whisky was distilled in January 2012 and matured for 10 years in an ex-Laphroaig barrel before bottling in December 2022. Ardmore Distillery was built in 1898 by Adam Teacher to ensure supply for the Teachers blended whisky. No shrinking violet, producing up to 5.5M litres of spirit per annum, and mostly peated. Indie bottlings of this highland gem are always well regarded and sought after.

Douglas Laing's Old Particular range of Scotch Whiskies are a particularly unique series of individually hand-selected, aged Single Cask Single Malts and Single Grains from all over Scotland. Each is bottled exactly the way the Distiller intended: without colouring or chill-filtration, and at high alcohol strength. This combination allows the cask to retain the naturally present oils, fats and enzymes in the spirit that enhance the quality of the nose, the mouthfeel and flavour profile of the Whisky. Keeping the spirit “as natural as it gets” allows you to experience the Whisky straight from the cask, transporting you to a dark, damp Distillery warehouse with every sip.

Notes from the bottler: "Nose: Fruity/hard candy in style then comes bonfire smoke and heavily charred wood. Palate: Oily and thick with soot and ash alongside crispy bacon and peated barley. Finish: Lingers long with puffs of smoke, a hint of allspice and cured meats.". CSL
