All aboard the peat train to Ardmore.

Picking a location to distill Scotch Whisky is an art in itself and one where Ardmore’s founder Adam Teacher has triumphed. The distillery is located at the top end of the Northern Railway Line in the Scottish Highlands, ensuring Ardmore could immediately flourish by transporting their product to cities with speed and ease. You then, of course, need a great source of water. Since day one of production water has been drawn from the natural springs of the Knockandy Hills. For these reasons very little has changed about Ardmore since it started distilling back in 1898. But then again, when you got your location so right, why would you?

Here we have the entry-level Whisky of the Ardmore range. A Highland Whisky with a mix of 80% peated malt and 20% unpeated malt. This dram is definitely not for a drinker who is opposed to a bit of Smoky spice in their Scotch. All things considered however this still falls into the easy-drinking category of peaty Whisky, an ideal dram to test the waters with smoky flavor. The makers declare that this Dram embodies their natural Highland Spirit so embrace your inner Scot and get yourself a bottle of this reasonably priced Malt.

Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Is Scotch always Scottish? What do you think? Yes. The answer is yes.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
