Gordon & MacPhail - Ardmore 2003-2022 Distillery Labels

Ardmore

Ardmore was founded in 1898 by the Teacher family and has long been the key malt in the Teacher’s blend. One of the rare peated Highland distilleries, its signature style combines woodsmoke with apple and floral brightness. The use of clear wort and long fermentations in wooden washbacks gives the whisky mid-palate weight and complexity.

Though mainly used in blends, Ardmore has built a following among single malt fans through independent bottlings. After switching to steam heating, it introduced an unpeated version named Ardlair. Now owned by Beam Suntory, Ardmore continues producing bold and distinctive Highland malt.
