Ardlair 2011/2023 Signatory Vintage 12 Year Old Sherry Butt Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 63.4%

Ardlair 2011 Signatory Vintage is a powerful and characterful bottling from Signatory Vintage’s Cask Strength Collection. The whisky was distilled on January 27, 2011, and bottled on March 8, 2023, giving it an age of 12 years. It matured in a Refill Oloroso Sherry Butt (cask no. 900028), which contributed a complex and fruity profile without overpowering the spirit’s own character. Ardlair is the unpeated version of Ardmore distillery’s whisky, and this edition was bottled at an impressive cask strength of 63.4%, without chill filtration and with natural colour. Only 622 bottles were released.

The flavour profile offers notes of fresh apples, pistachios, roasted almonds, and salted caramel. There is a creamy texture with hints of dried fruits and a clear sherry influence, leading to a long and persistent finish. A Highland whisky with both power and finesse, showing how refill sherry casks can create balance between fruit, spice, and malt.
